The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Cape Town 2026, Nonophela Mxakato crossed the line in 1:30:02: 116th of 427 women, faster than 73% of the field.
The wall balls were the standout, 2:21 quicker than the median and 52nd of 427. A harder second half: 1:12 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Cape Town 2026 and Cape Town 2025 were 7:37 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
