The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:45:51 at Manchester 2026 put Mark Owens 461st of 551 men in the Open division.
If there was time left out there, it was on the burpee broad jumps, 2:39 behind the median. The race faded late: the second half went 2:48 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Manchester 2026 and Birmingham 2025 were 1:03 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
