The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:43:54 at Manchester 2026 put Gavin Dilkes 1,243rd of 1,463 men in the Open division.
The sandbag lunges cost the most time: 4:57 slower than the median. A harder second half: 2:08 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.
