The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Jay Harper finished 822nd of 1,463 men in the Open division at Manchester 2026, in 1:25:53.
The runs carried this race: faster than 57% of the field over the eight kilometres, against 35% on the stations. If there was time left out there, it was on the burpee broad jumps, 1:33 behind the median.
Athletes who raced both Manchester 2026 and London Excel 2025 were 1:07 slower here, so the course was tougher than the clock suggests.
