The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Manchester 2026, Mark Radford crossed the line in 1:20:27: 644th of 1,463 men, faster than 56% of the field.
The sled push was the standout, 0:40 quicker than the median and 84th of 1,463. The wall balls cost the most time: 0:43 slower than the median. A harder second half: 1:19 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Manchester 2026 and Birmingham 2025 were 1:03 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
