The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Josh Hardman finished 482nd of 1,463 men in the Open division at Manchester 2026, in 1:16:54, faster than 67% of the field.
Nowhere gained more than the burpee broad jumps: 2:47 on the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 1:10 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.
