The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Manchester 2026, Andrew Traynor crossed the line in 1:17:55: 530th of 1,463 men, faster than 64% of the field.
The sandbag lunges were where this race was made, 0:30 ahead of the median.
Athletes who raced both Manchester 2026 and Birmingham 2024 were 4:40 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
