The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Saleem Ahmed finished 1,424th of 1,463 men in the Open division at Manchester 2026, in 2:06:04.
If there was time left out there, it was on the wall balls, 8:40 behind the median. The race faded late: the second half went 6:46 worse against the middle of the field than the first. The roxzone cost time: 9:23, behind 88% 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.
