The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Simon Davis finished 762nd of 1,463 men in the Open division at Manchester 2026, in 1:24:16.
The sandbag lunges were where this race was made, 0:43 ahead of the median. The sled pull cost the most time: 0:55 slower than the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 3:04 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Manchester 2026 and London Excel 2025 were 1:07 slower here, so the course was tougher than the clock suggests.
