The race, in words
Lorraine Jones finished 184th of 263 women in the Open division at Manchester 2026, in 1:44:50.
A station race more than a running one: 69% of the field beaten on the stations, against 22% on the runs. The sandbag lunges were where this race was made, 2:43 ahead of the median. 11:16 in the roxzone was slower than 91% of the field.
Manchester ran slow: the 795 athletes who also raced elsewhere this season were about 1:18 slower here than at their other races. 2:56 faster than at Geneva 2025, the previous Open race.
