The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Jaco Crous finished 109th of 422 men in the Open division at Johannesburg I 2025, in 1:30:06, faster than 74% of the field.
A station race more than a running one: 77% of the field beaten on the stations, against 57% on the runs. The race faded late: the second half went 3:09 worse against the middle of the field than the first. Time in the roxzone, 5:19, was faster than 93% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Johannesburg I 2025 and Cape Town 2024 were 2:11 slower here, so the course was tougher than the clock suggests.
