The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Alex Sandham finished 269th of 551 men in the Open division at Manchester 2026, in 1:24:19, faster than 51% of the field.
The burpee broad jumps cost the most time: 1:01 slower than the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 1:12 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Manchester 2026 and Manchester 2025 were 2:53 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
