The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Johannesburg 2026, Adolf Potgieter crossed the line in 1:27:28: 168th of 740 men, faster than 77% of the field.
A station race more than a running one: 85% of the field beaten on the stations, against 61% on the runs. Nowhere gained more than the wall balls: 2:55 on the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 4:14 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Johannesburg 2026 and Johannesburg 2025 were 9:49 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
