Cape Town Marathon (Cape Marathon)

Cape Town Marathon

The Cape Town Marathon is one of the most prestigious races on the African continent—and for good reason: it has just joined the highly selective family of the Abbott World Marathon Majors. Its course is a showcase of the city’s spectacular scenery and cultural richness, passing iconic landmarks such as the V&A Waterfront, Green Point Park and the famous Bo-Kaap neighbourhood, known for its colourful houses and lively atmosphere. Runners also follow the Atlantic Ocean with the majestic Table Mountain—Cape Town’s natural emblem—as a backdrop. With its flagship 42 km race and 10 km courses, the event appeals to seasoned marathoners as well as newcomers looking for an unforgettable experience in a postcard-perfect setting.
