The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:31:08 at Manchester 2026 put Danny McGuinness 342nd of 551 men in the Open division.
The stations carried this race: faster than 64% of the field across all eight, against 38% on the runs. The sandbag lunges were the standout, 2:33 quicker than the median and 7th of 551. Paced to finish: the second half went 3:23 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Manchester 2026 and London Excel 2025 were 1:07 slower here, so the course was tougher than the clock suggests.
