The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Pierre Pieters finished 622nd of 652 men in the Open division at Cape Town 2026, in 2:21:54.
On the wall balls the field had the edge, by 11:38. The race faded late: the second half went 12:25 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Cape Town 2026 and Cape Town 2025 were 6:48 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
