The race, in three figures
The race, in words
James Parry finished 341st of 551 men in the Open division at Manchester 2026, in 1:31:06.
Nowhere gained more than the sandbag lunges: 2:44 on the median. The wall balls cost the most time: 2:27 slower than the median. The race faded late: the second half went 3:23 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Manchester 2026 and Cardiff 2025 were 2:39 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
