The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:45:24 at Johannesburg 2025 put Sphesihle Mthembu 174th of 550 women in the Open division, ahead of 68% of the field.
A station race more than a running one: 84% of the field beaten on the stations, against 54% on the runs. The burpee broad jumps were where this race was made, 2:54 ahead of the median.
Athletes who raced both Johannesburg 2025 and Cape Town 2025 were 5:13 slower here, so the course was tougher than the clock suggests.
