The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Joshuakim Van Roodt finished 517th of 652 men in the Open division at Cape Town 2026, in 1:52:58.
The stations carried this race: faster than 38% of the field across all eight, against 9% on the runs. The farmers carry cost the most time: 3:10 slower than the median. A harder second half: 8:49 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway 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.
