The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Tom Oliver finished 568th of 1,463 men in the Open division at Manchester 2026, in 1:18:54, faster than 61% of the field.
The runs carried this race: faster than 87% of the field over the eight kilometres, against 31% on the stations. If there was time left out there, it was on the wall balls, 2:10 behind the median. Time in the roxzone, 3:40, was faster than 93% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Manchester 2026 and London Excel 2025 were 1:07 slower here, so the course was tougher than the clock suggests.
