The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Karl Clayton finished 1,230th of 1,463 men in the Open division at Manchester 2026, in 1:43:05.
If there was time left out there, it was on the sandbag lunges, 2:34 behind the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 2:29 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Manchester 2026 and Manchester 2025 were 2:53 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
