The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Ghiome Kolbe finished 238th of 652 men in the Open division at Cape Town 2026, in 1:27:54, faster than 64% of the field.
Nowhere gained more than the sandbag lunges: 0:49 on the median. The race faded late: the second half went 2:37 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Cape Town 2026 and Cape Town 2024 were 7:13 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
