The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Michael Dodd finished 449th of 529 men in the Open division at Manchester 2026, in 1:46:10.
On the wall balls the field had the edge, by 3:58. A harder second half: 7:20 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.
