The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Vincent Ricketts finished 505th of 652 men in the Open division at Johannesburg 2025, in 2:03:41.
The runs carried this race: faster than 46% of the field over the eight kilometres, against 21% on the stations. If there was time left out there, it was on the burpee broad jumps, 5:10 behind the median. 17:24 in the roxzone was slower than 96% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Johannesburg 2025 and Cape Town 2025 were 5:12 slower here, so the course was tougher than the clock suggests.
