The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Manchester 2026, Mark Seaton crossed the line in 1:21:13: 665th of 1,463 men, faster than 55% of the field.
The stations carried this race: faster than 74% of the field across all eight, against 39% on the runs. Nowhere gained more than the wall balls: 2:15 on the median.
Athletes who raced both Manchester 2026 and Cardiff 2025 were 2:39 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
