Progress against the field
Between Johannesburg I 2025 and Johannesburg 2026, Amanda Vermeulen and Anneke Schoombie pulled 4:55 ahead of the field.
The clock says 12:25 faster, but the races themselves got 7:30 quicker for everyone.
The largest gain on the field came from Johannesburg I 2025 → Cape Town 2025: 4:05 in 140 days.
How this is worked out ⓘ
A finish time moves for two reasons: the athlete, and the race — its course, its floor, its day. For each pair of races in a row in one category, we take everyone who raced both and use the middle of how much they moved (the median) as "the race". Whatever is left is the athlete. Doubles are compared only when the same two people raced both, and told as the pair's; relays are left out. A pair with fewer than 15 athletes in common is not shown.
