The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Philip Astles finished 1,023rd of 1,463 men in the Open division at Manchester 2026, in 1:32:44.
The burpee broad jumps cost the most time: 2:19 slower than the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 1:42 better 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.
