The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Matt Hind finished 858th of 1,463 men in the Open division at Manchester 2026, in 1:26:57.
The stations carried this race: faster than 57% of the field across all eight, against 32% on the runs. Nowhere gained more than the wall balls: 1:16 on the median. The race faded late: the second half went 1:29 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Manchester 2026 and London Excel 2025 were 1:07 slower here, so the course was tougher than the clock suggests.
