The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Jon Arnold finished 498th of 551 men in the Open division at Manchester 2026, in 1:56:53.
On the wall balls the field had the edge, by 10:13. A harder second half: 11:18 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Manchester 2026 and Valencia 2025 were 1:35 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
