In a landmark moment for global running, the Sanlam Cape Town Marathon has officially secured its place as the 8th Abbott World Marathon Major, becoming the first race on the African continent to join this prestigious series. The race now sits alongside Tokyo, Boston, London, Sydney, Berlin, Chicago and New York as one of the most sought-after marathons in the world.

Set against the breathtaking backdrop of Table Mountain and following the stunning coastline, Cape Town Marathon offers runners an unforgettable race experience.

The route is a fast, single-loop, point-to-parallel course that starts in Green Point and finishes near the iconic DHL Stadium. The course showcases some of Cape Town's most iconic landmarks, combining stunning natural scenery with vibrant city streets and incredible local support.
