The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Manchester 2026, Keith Brook crossed the line in 1:21:15: 226th of 551 men, faster than 59% of the field.
Nowhere gained more than the sled pull: 0:32 on the median. The race faded late: the second half went 2:12 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Manchester 2026 and London Excel 2025 were 1:07 slower here, so the course was tougher than the clock suggests.
