The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Manchester 2026, Oliver Gallagher crossed the line in 1:14:28: 376th of 1,463 men, faster than 74% of the field.
Nowhere gained more than the wall balls: 1:20 on the median. On the farmers carry the field had the edge, by 0:32. A harder second half: 1:50 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Manchester 2026 and Birmingham 2025 were 1:03 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
