The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Daniel Parsons finished 1,453rd of 1,463 men in the Open division at Manchester 2026, in 2:23:58.
If there was time left out there, it was on the wall balls, 7:24 behind the median. A harder second half: 15:40 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it. 18:23 in the roxzone was slower than 99% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Manchester 2026 and Copenhagen 2025 were 1:44 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
