The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Tom Pizzey finished 890th of 1,463 men in the Open division at Manchester 2026, in 1:27:48.
A station race more than a running one: 60% of the field beaten on the stations, against 24% on the runs. The sled pull was the standout, 0:55 quicker than the median and 157th of 1,463. Stronger after halfway: 3:22 better against the middle of the field than before it.
Athletes who raced both Manchester 2026 and Birmingham 2025 were 1:03 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
