This race, with its poor management and racial bias against international athletes from Africa, can never get their results on time. It's after 6pm race day and still no results on the race site.
As for the "money to top 25" that is a lie. It's top ten with 11-25 getting $100 gift cards.
Results were up immediately as people started finishing, sorry you can’t Google “2024 Manchester Road Race results”. Very well managed, they get 10,000+ people lined up quickly with no bottlenecks and faster corrals if you have a qualifying time. This year those in the under 30 min. corral were able to do strides until just before the start, then they lined up the elites last minute. Besides top 25 they have cash or free shoe awards for 5 year age groups and other categories plus comped entry for next year’s race. And the elites clearly love it, Manchester attracts some of the top road running talent and you see the same pros come back year after year. And then those pros retire and become coaches, and send their own athletes to Manchester.
