The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:36:39 at Manchester 2026 put Alastair Bath 1,117th of 1,463 men in the Open division.
On the burpee broad jumps the field had the edge, by 2:32. A harder second half: 1:39 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway 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.
