The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Emily Metcalf took 3rd of 20 in the 40–44 age group at Manchester 2026, in 1:18:07.
A station race more than a running one: 85% of the field beaten on the stations, against 53% on the runs. Nowhere gained more than the wall balls: 2:05 on the median.
Athletes who raced both Manchester 2026 and Birmingham 2025 were 1:19 slower here, so the course was tougher than the clock suggests.
