The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Matthew Kelbie finished 416th of 551 men in the Open division at Manchester 2026, in 1:39:10.
On the burpee broad jumps the field had the edge, by 1:47. The race faded late: the second half went 1:47 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.
