The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Chris Eckford finished 1,169th of 1,463 men in the Open division at Manchester 2026, in 1:39:39.
The sled pull cost the most time: 1:35 slower than the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 4:49 better against the middle of the field than the first. The roxzone cost time: 10:23, behind 91% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Manchester 2026 and Birmingham 2025 were 1:03 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
