The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Erik Duncan finished 699th of 1,463 men in the Open division at Manchester 2026, in 1:22:01, faster than 52% of the field.
Legs and stations told different stories: 63% of the field beaten on the runs, 38% on the stations. The sandbag lunges cost the most time: 1:10 slower than the median.
Athletes who raced both Manchester 2026 and Birmingham 2025 were 1:03 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
