The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Johannesburg 2026, Claudia Knox crossed the line in 1:34:46: 110th of 633 women, faster than 83% of the field.
The runs carried this race: faster than 93% of the field over the eight kilometres, against 65% on the stations. The burpee broad jumps were where this race was made, 1:55 ahead of the median. A harder second half: 1:48 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Johannesburg 2026 and Johannesburg 2025 were 7:39 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
