The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Manchester 2026, Callum Mann crossed the line in 1:19:09: 581st of 1,463 men, faster than 60% of the field.
Legs and stations told different stories: 76% of the field beaten on the runs, 43% on the stations. On the burpee broad jumps the field had the edge, by 1:34. Paced to finish: the second half went 1:07 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Manchester 2026 and Manchester 2024 were 2:38 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
