The race, in words
In the Open division at Manchester 2026, Luke Brack crossed the line in 1:22:14: 233rd of 551 men, faster than 58% of the field.
The wall balls were where this race was made, 2:21 ahead of the median. Stronger after halfway: 1:59 better against the middle of the field than before it.
Athletes who raced both Manchester 2026 and London Excel 2025 were 1:07 slower here, so the course was tougher than the clock suggests.
