The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Patrick Armiger finished 1,051st of 1,463 men in the Open division at Manchester 2026, in 1:33:28.
The runs carried this race: faster than 48% of the field over the eight kilometres, against 12% on the stations. On the sandbag lunges the field had the edge, by 6:44. A harder second half: 8:16 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Manchester 2026 and London Excel 2025 were 1:07 slower here, so the course was tougher than the clock suggests.
