The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Steve Gorman finished 883rd of 1,463 men in the Open division at Manchester 2026, in 1:27:37.
Legs and stations told different stories: 54% of the field beaten on the runs, 25% on the stations. The wall balls cost the most time: 3:05 slower than the median. The race faded late: the second half went 3:11 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Manchester 2026 and Manchester 2024 were 2:38 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
