The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Johannesburg 2025, Sibonelo Makama crossed the line in 1:28:10: 142nd of 652 men, faster than 78% of the field.
Legs and stations told different stories: 89% of the field beaten on the runs, 57% on the stations. Nowhere gained more than the burpee broad jumps: 1:02 on the median. Quick through the roxzone: 6:08, ahead of 89% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Johannesburg 2025 and Johannesburg I 2025 were 4:09 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
