The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Manchester 2026, Sean Kelleher crossed the line in 1:22:00: 232nd of 551 men, faster than 58% of the field.
A station race more than a running one: 73% of the field beaten on the stations, against 42% on the runs. Nowhere gained more than the wall balls: 1:13 on the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 7:39 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Manchester 2026 and Cardiff 2025 were 2:39 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
