The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Manchester 2026, Kimberley Burns crossed the line in 1:33:02: 124th of 268 women, faster than 54% of the field.
Nowhere gained more than the burpee broad jumps: 0:50 on the median. If there was time left out there, it was on the sandbag lunges, 0:46 behind the median. The race faded late: the second half went 3:30 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Manchester ran slow: the 795 athletes who also raced elsewhere this season were about 1:18 slower here than at their other races. 2:17 faster than at London Excel 2025, the previous Open race.
