The race, in three figures
The race, in words

Legs and stations told different stories: 65% of the field beaten on the runs, 24% on the stations. On the farmers carry the field had the edge, by 4:00. A harder second half: 5:04 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Cape Town 1 2026 and Cape Town 2025 were 1:59 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
