The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Cape Town 2026, Andrew Alexander crossed the line in 1:18:10: 112th of 652 men, faster than 83% of the field.
The sandbag lunges were the standout, 1:41 quicker than the median and 78th of 652. Stronger after halfway: 1:55 better against the middle of the field than before it.
Athletes who raced both Cape Town 2026 and Cape Town 1 2026 were 6:39 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
