The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Manchester 2026, Nick Wall crossed the line in 1:18:54: 570th of 1,463 men, faster than 61% of the field.
The wall balls were the standout, 0:39 quicker than the median and 579th of 1,463. Stronger after halfway: 1:04 better against the middle of the field than before it.
Athletes who raced both Manchester 2026 and London Excel 2025 were 1:07 slower here, so the course was tougher than the clock suggests.
