The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:40:06 at Manchester 2026 put Neil Gant 424th of 551 men in the Open division.
If there was time left out there, it was on the sandbag lunges, 3:25 behind the median. The race faded late: the second half went 6:05 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.
