The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Marang Maithufi finished 59th of 77 women in the Pro division at Johannesburg 2026, in 1:55:20.
Legs and stations told different stories: 34% of the field beaten on the runs, 13% on the stations. On the wall balls the field had the edge, by 5:57. The race faded late: the second half went 5:24 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Johannesburg 2026 and Cape Town 1 2026 were 2:30 slower here, so the course was tougher than the clock suggests.
