The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:50:01 at Manchester 2026 put Oliver Beasant 1,320th of 1,463 men in the Open division.
On the wall balls the field had the edge, by 3:51. The race faded late: the second half went 1:43 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Manchester 2026 and Birmingham 2025 were 1:03 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
