The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:22:03 at Manchester 2026 put Lewis Newton 701st of 1,463 men in the Open division, ahead of 52% of the field.
The sandbag lunges were where this race was made, 1:01 ahead of the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 1:11 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Manchester 2026 and Birmingham 2025 were 1:03 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
