The race, in three figures
The race, in words
David Baron finished 800th of 1,463 men in the Open division at Manchester 2026, in 1:25:08.
A station race more than a running one: 55% of the field beaten on the stations, against 34% on the runs. Nowhere gained more than the wall balls: 0:56 on the median. Stronger after halfway: 4:32 better against the middle of the field than before it.
Athletes who raced both Manchester 2026 and London Excel 2025 were 1:07 slower here, so the course was tougher than the clock suggests.
