The race, in three figures
The race, in words
James Kelly finished 332nd of 529 men in the Open division at Manchester 2026, in 1:30:23.
If there was time left out there, it was on the wall balls, 3:52 behind the median. A harder second half: 3:21 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Manchester 2026 and London Excel 2025 were 1:07 slower here, so the course was tougher than the clock suggests.
