The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Manchester 2026, Richard Donaghy crossed the line in 1:23:14: 254th of 551 men, faster than 54% of the field.
The wall balls cost the most time: 1:26 slower than the median. The race faded late: the second half went 1:31 worse against the middle of the field than the first. Quick through the roxzone: 3:52, ahead of 90% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Manchester 2026 and Birmingham 2024 were 4:40 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
