The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Gawie Le Roux finished 338th of 652 men in the Open division at Cape Town 2026, in 1:35:03.
On the wall balls the field had the edge, by 1:04. The race faded late: the second half went 1:10 worse 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.
