The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Tom Cottrell Lilley finished 278th of 551 men in the Open division at Manchester 2026, in 1:25:18.
The sled push was the standout, 0:32 quicker than the median and 65th of 551. If there was time left out there, it was on the burpee broad jumps, 0:43 behind the median.
Athletes who raced both Manchester 2026 and London Excel 2025 were 1:07 slower here, so the course was tougher than the clock suggests.
