"UTCT 100 Mile The long course had nearly 25,000 feet of climbing and paid 80,000 Rand ($4,597) to its winners. It was an off day for American challengers Adrian Macdonald and Avery Collins. Both dropped before the finish. UT 100k Women The 100k race was the event's premier distance and was the last race of the 2025 World Trail Majors. The challenging course totaled 4,676 meters (15,341 feet) of climbing and paid 75,000 Rand to the winners. That's about $4,390 with today's conversion."
"Among the pre-race challengers, Nicole Bitter (U.S.) and Rosanna Buchauer (Germany) did not finish. The women's top five was: Sunmaya Budha (Nepal) - 12:25:55 Antonina Iushina (Neutral) - 13:33:31 Tara Fraga (U.S.) - 13:47:04 Alyssa Clark (U.S.) - 14:03:11 Sarah Humble (U.S.) - 14:46:08 Budha had earlier won the World Trail Majors Hong Kong 100k race, and with this victory, she also won the series. That was worth an extra 12,000 Euro for the World Trail Majors overall win."
"Men Dmitry Mityaev (Neutral) had dropped from three straight races, but with 20k to go in Cape Town, he had a four-minute lead. Mityaev won here in 2023 and 2022, but that didn't stop Jeff Mogavero (U.S.) from going supernova late and vaulting from third to first over the final climb and descent. Mogavero won in 11:04, and Mityaev was second in 11:05. The two were only 31 seconds apart. Matthew Healy (South Africa) scored a third-place finish in 11:11."
