The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Leon O’Regan finished 499th of 1,463 men in the Open division at Manchester 2026, in 1:17:16, faster than 66% of the field.
Legs and stations told different stories: 76% of the field beaten on the runs, 52% on the stations. The farmers carry cost the most time: 0:58 slower than the median. The race faded late: the second half went 4:00 worse 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.
