The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Johannesburg 2025, Jared Naidoo crossed the line in 1:44:11: 312th of 652 men, faster than 52% of the field.
The runs carried this race: faster than 62% of the field over the eight kilometres, against 41% on the stations. On the sled push the field had the edge, by 1:49. A harder second half: 1:03 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Johannesburg 2025 and Cape Town 2025 were 5:12 slower here, so the course was tougher than the clock suggests.
