The race, in three figures
The race, in words
2:24:58 at Manchester 2026 put Chris Roberts 1,456th of 1,463 men in the Open division.
If there was time left out there, it was on the wall balls, 18:49 behind the median. The race faded late: the second half went 21:24 worse against the middle of the field than the first. 16:12 in the roxzone was slower than 98% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Manchester 2026 and London Excel 2025 were 1:07 slower here, so the course was tougher than the clock suggests.
