The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Rob Lamb finished 305th of 529 men in the Open division at Manchester 2026, in 1:28:04.
On the sandbag lunges the field had the edge, by 1:34. A harder second half: 2:18 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Manchester 2026 and Manchester 2025 were 2:53 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
