The race, in words
In the Open division at Johannesburg 2025, Imraan Mia crossed the line in 1:23:58: 98th of 652 men, faster than 85% of the field.
A station race more than a running one: 94% of the field beaten on the stations, against 72% on the runs. Nowhere gained more than the wall balls: 3:12 on the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 3:36 better against the middle of the field than the first.
The field ran 5:12 slower at Johannesburg 2025 than at Cape Town 2025, which makes this time better than it looks.
