The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Cape Town 2026, Jonathan Fortune crossed the line in 1:30:51: 286th of 652 men, faster than 56% of the field.
The stations carried this race: faster than 79% of the field across all eight, against 46% on the runs. Nowhere gained more than the burpee broad jumps: 2:32 on the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 4:08 better against the middle of the field than the first.
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.
