The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:39:41 at Manchester 2026 put Mark Arands 403rd of 529 men in the Open division.
On the wall balls the field had the edge, by 4:07. The race faded late: the second half went 6:33 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Manchester 2026 and Manchester 2024 were 2:38 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
