The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Michael Leader finished 823rd of 1,463 men in the Open division at Manchester 2026, in 1:25:53.
The stations carried this race: faster than 66% of the field across all eight, against 42% on the runs. The burpee broad jumps were where this race was made, 2:50 ahead of the median. A harder second half: 2:49 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Manchester 2026 and Berlin 2025 were 3:42 slower here, so the course was tougher than the clock suggests.
