The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Mike Lewis finished 966th of 1,463 men in the Open division at Manchester 2026, in 1:30:22.
The stations carried this race: faster than 60% of the field across all eight, against 30% on the runs. Stronger after halfway: 4:22 better against the middle of the field than before it. 10:04 in the roxzone was slower than 91% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Manchester 2026 and Cardiff 2025 were 2:39 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
