The race, in three figures
The race, in words
2:39:24 at Johannesburg 2026 put Unathi Ntja 576th of 633 women in the Open division.
A station race more than a running one: 24% of the field beaten on the stations, against 4% on the runs. The burpee broad jumps cost the most time: 4:20 slower than the median. A harder second half: 12:06 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Johannesburg ran slow: the 161 athletes who also raced elsewhere this season were about 3:14 slower here than at their other races. That was 25:39 off the time at Cape Town 1 2026.
