The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Manchester 2026, Melissa Holden crossed the line in 1:22:47: 53rd of 268 women, faster than 80% of the field.
Nowhere gained more than the burpee broad jumps: 4:02 on the median. Stronger after halfway: 1:01 better against the middle of the field than before it.
Athletes who raced both Manchester 2026 and Manchester 2024 were 2:13 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
