The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Lauren Costello finished 149th of 263 women in the Open division at Manchester 2026, in 1:36:51.
A station race more than a running one: 66% of the field beaten on the stations, against 30% on the runs. The wall balls were where this race was made, 2:20 ahead of the median. Stronger after halfway: 3:01 better against the middle of the field than before it.
Manchester ran slow: the 795 athletes who also raced elsewhere this season were about 1:18 slower here than at their other races. That was 10:03 off the time at London Excel 2025.
