The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Laith Lolas finished 381st of 529 men in the Open division at Manchester 2026, in 1:36:34.
The burpee broad jumps were the standout, 2:08 quicker than the median and 34th of 529. The wall balls cost the most time: 3:15 slower than the median. A harder second half: 3:56 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.
