The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Ash Milward finished 284th of 1,463 men in the Open division at Manchester 2026, in 1:12:18, faster than 81% of the field.
Legs and stations told different stories: 92% of the field beaten on the runs, 57% on the stations. Stronger after halfway: 1:48 better against the middle of the field than before it. Time in the roxzone, 3:54, was faster than 87% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Manchester 2026 and Manchester 2025 were 2:53 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
