The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:26:20 at Johannesburg 2026 put Mathew Marsden 159th of 740 men in the Open division, ahead of 79% of the field.
The wall balls were where this race was made, 2:45 ahead of the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 2:50 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Johannesburg 2026 and Cape Town 2025 were 1:06 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
