The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Gavin Mcmurtry finished 761st of 1,463 men in the Open division at Manchester 2026, in 1:24:16.
A station race more than a running one: 64% of the field beaten on the stations, against 38% on the runs. On the wall balls the field had the edge, by 1:40. The race faded late: the second half went 9:38 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Manchester 2026 and Manchester 2024 were 2:38 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
