The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Dan Fennell finished 1,365th of 1,463 men in the Open division at Manchester 2026, in 1:54:42.
The sandbag lunges cost the most time: 4:22 slower than the median. The race faded late: the second half went 7:16 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Manchester 2026 and London Excel 2025 were 1:07 slower here, so the course was tougher than the clock suggests.
