The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Alan Anderson finished 402nd of 551 men in the Open division at Manchester 2026, in 1:37:38.
If there was time left out there, it was on the sandbag lunges, 3:15 behind the median. The race faded late: the second half went 3:25 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Manchester 2026 and London Excel 2025 were 1:07 slower here, so the course was tougher than the clock suggests.
