The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Cape Town 1 2026, Chereé Thomson crossed the line in 1:40:23: 135th of 364 women, faster than 63% of the field.
Nowhere gained more than the burpee broad jumps: 2:01 on the median. The race faded late: the second half went 2:16 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Cape Town 1 2026 and Cape Town 2025 were 3:48 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
