The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Cape Town 2026, Bianca Mcharg crossed the line in 1:32:19: 132nd of 427 women, faster than 69% of the field.
A station race more than a running one: 80% of the field beaten on the stations, against 60% on the runs. The burpee broad jumps were the standout, 3:14 quicker than the median and 15th of 427. A harder second half: 1:21 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
