The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Manchester 2026, Neal Matley crossed the line in 1:21:27: 679th of 1,463 men, faster than 54% of the field.
If there was time left out there, it was on the sandbag lunges, 0:41 behind the median.
Athletes who raced both Manchester 2026 and Glasgow 2025 were 1:52 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
