The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Manchester 2026, Jack Markey crossed the line in 1:16:52: 479th of 1,463 men, faster than 67% of the field.
A station race more than a running one: 87% of the field beaten on the stations, against 54% on the runs. Nowhere gained more than the burpee broad jumps: 2:52 on the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 1:44 better 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.
