The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Johannesburg 2025, Lesego Taunyane crossed the line in 1:43:31: 161st of 550 women, faster than 71% of the field.
The runs carried this race: faster than 84% of the field over the eight kilometres, against 49% on the stations. Nowhere gained more than the burpee broad jumps: 3:00 on the median. The race faded late: the second half went 3:13 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Johannesburg 2025 and Cape Town 2025 were 5:13 slower here, so the course was tougher than the clock suggests.
