The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Stephen Law Lyons finished 491st of 529 men in the Open division at Manchester 2026, in 1:56:47.
On the burpee broad jumps the field had the edge, by 3:42. The race faded late: the second half went 3:07 worse against the middle of the field than the first. 8:56 in the roxzone was slower than 85% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Manchester 2026 and Birmingham 2025 were 1:03 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
