The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Jack Walker finished 782nd of 1,463 men in the Open division at Manchester 2026, in 1:24:40.
Legs and stations told different stories: 59% of the field beaten on the runs, 36% on the stations. If there was time left out there, it was on the sandbag lunges, 1:35 behind the median. A harder second half: 1:36 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Manchester 2026 and Dublin 2025 were 1:05 slower here, so the course was tougher than the clock suggests.
