The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Joshua Walker finished 817th of 1,463 men in the Open division at Manchester 2026, in 1:25:48.
A station race more than a running one: 67% of the field beaten on the stations, against 37% on the runs. The sandbag lunges were where this race was made, 2:00 ahead of the median.
Athletes who raced both Manchester 2026 and Birmingham 2025 were 1:03 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
