The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Johannesburg 2026, Joy Malete crossed the line in 1:45:36: 208th of 633 women, faster than 67% of the field.
A station race more than a running one: 77% of the field beaten on the stations, against 55% on the runs. The wall balls were where this race was made, 2:38 ahead of the median.
Athletes who raced both Johannesburg 2026 and Johannesburg 2025 were 7:39 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
