The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Matt Fairhurst finished 552nd of 1,463 men in the Open division at Manchester 2026, in 1:18:36, faster than 62% of the field.
Legs and stations told different stories: 74% of the field beaten on the runs, 44% on the stations. The burpee broad jumps were where this race was made, 1:03 ahead of the median. If there was time left out there, it was on the farmers carry, 3:09 behind the median.
Athletes who raced both Manchester 2026 and Birmingham 2025 were 1:03 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
