The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:54:18 at Johannesburg 2026 put Lebo Ngcobo 526th of 740 men in the Open division.
A station race more than a running one: 49% of the field beaten on the stations, against 28% on the runs. A harder second half: 9:52 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it. The roxzone cost time: 16:03, behind 96% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Johannesburg 2026 and Johannesburg 2025 were 9:49 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
