The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Cape Town 2026, Marelize Esterhuizen crossed the line in 1:31:50: 127th of 427 women, faster than 70% of the field.
Nowhere gained more than the wall balls: 1:22 on the median.
Athletes who raced both Cape Town 2026 and Cape Town 1 2026 were 4:26 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
