The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Mathieu Cros won the Open division at Cape Town 1 2026 in 1:02:26, first of 536 men.
The wall balls were where this race was made, 3:14 ahead of the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 3:29 better against the middle of the field than the first. Time in the roxzone, 2:59, was faster than 99% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Cape Town 1 2026 and Cape Town 2024 were 6:17 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
