The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Manchester 2024, Ross McKenzie crossed the line in 1:15:47: 405th of 1,206 men, faster than 66% of the field.
A station race more than a running one: 74% of the field beaten on the stations, against 53% on the runs. The sandbag lunges were the standout, 1:23 quicker than the median and 101st of 1,206. Paced to finish: the second half went 1:35 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Manchester 2024 and Birmingham 2024 were 4:14 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
