The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Tim Shaw finished 426th of 1,463 men in the Open division at Manchester 2026, in 1:15:41, faster than 71% of the field.
A station race more than a running one: 86% of the field beaten on the stations, against 49% on the runs. Nowhere gained more than the wall balls: 2:04 on the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 1:43 better 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.
