The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Darren Ratcliffe finished 514th of 551 men in the Open division at Manchester 2026, in 2:09:33.
If there was time left out there, it was on the burpee broad jumps, 7:07 behind the median. A harder second half: 3:32 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it. The roxzone cost time: 12:05, behind 93% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Manchester 2026 and Manchester 2023 were 9:48 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
