The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Tshele Letuka finished 416th of 740 men in the Open division at Johannesburg 2026, in 1:44:43.
A station race more than a running one: 68% of the field beaten on the stations, against 24% on the runs. Nowhere gained more than the wall balls: 2:13 on the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 2:41 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.
