The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Sam Hanson finished 805th of 1,463 men in the Open division at Manchester 2026, in 1:25:17.
The stations carried this race: faster than 70% of the field across all eight, against 23% on the runs. The wall balls were where this race was made, 1:18 ahead of the median. Stronger after halfway: 8:01 better against the middle of the field than before it.
Athletes who raced both Manchester 2026 and Birmingham 2025 were 1:03 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
