The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Jonathan Bigham finished in the top 10% of the field at Cape Town 2026, in 1:11:16 for 43rd of 652 men in the Open division.
A station race more than a running one: 99% of the field beaten on the stations, against 78% on the runs. The wall balls were the standout, 4:05 quicker than the median and 4th of 652. Paced to finish: the second half went 3:35 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Cape Town 2026 and Cape Town 2025 were 6:48 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
