The race, in three figures
The race, in words
John Rainey finished 729th of 1,463 men in the Open division at Manchester 2026, in 1:23:07, faster than 50% of the field.
The runs carried this race: faster than 62% of the field over the eight kilometres, against 36% on the stations. On the burpee broad jumps the field had the edge, by 2:11. Stronger after halfway: 3:29 better against the middle of the field than before it.
Athletes who raced both Manchester 2026 and Berlin 2025 were 3:42 slower here, so the course was tougher than the clock suggests.
