The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Manchester 2026, Charlie Freeman crossed the line in 1:13:18: 323rd of 1,463 men, faster than 78% of the field.
Legs and stations told different stories: 85% of the field beaten on the runs, 63% on the stations. The sled pull was where this race was made, 0:48 ahead of the median.
Athletes who raced both Manchester 2026 and Birmingham 2025 were 1:03 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
