The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Heather Leckie finished 81st of 263 women in the Open division at Manchester 2026, in 1:27:42, faster than 69% of the field.
A station race more than a running one: 77% of the field beaten on the stations, against 57% on the runs. The wall balls were the standout, 2:02 quicker than the median and 25th of 263. Paced to finish: the second half went 8:40 better 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. 5:56 slower than at London Excel 2025, the previous Open race.
