The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Sindisani Khumalo finished 408th of 740 men in the Open division at Johannesburg 2026, in 1:43:59.
A station race more than a running one: 61% of the field beaten on the stations, against 35% on the runs. The sandbag lunges were the standout, 1:40 quicker than the median and 85th of 740. Paced to finish: the second half went 3:59 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Johannesburg ran slow: the 210 athletes who also raced elsewhere this season were about 2:51 slower here than at their other races.
