The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Xiaofeng Yang finished 992nd of 1,463 men in the Open division at Manchester 2026, in 1:31:16.
The stations carried this race: faster than 73% of the field across all eight, against 30% on the runs. The race faded late: the second half went 2:38 worse against the middle of the field than the first. 13:06 in the roxzone was slower than 96% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Manchester 2026 and London Excel 2025 were 1:07 slower here, so the course was tougher than the clock suggests.
