The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Aaron Smiley finished 306th of 551 men in the Open division at Manchester 2026, in 1:27:49.
The burpee broad jumps cost the most time: 1:32 slower than the median. Stronger after halfway: 1:06 better against the middle of the field 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.
