The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:14:17 at Manchester 2026 put Marcus Matthews 368th of 1,463 men in the Open division, ahead of 75% of the field.
The wall balls were where this race was made, 1:35 ahead of the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 1:35 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Manchester 2026 and Birmingham 2024 were 4:40 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
