The Sanlam Cape Town Marathon is in the running for Abbott World Marathon Majors status.
To kick off this incredible journey, we’re designing a brand-new route on 23 February 2022. Iconic sites. Breathtaking vistas. Unexpected turns. It’s a whole new marathon, in Cape Town, South Africa.
What’s more, 2022 will see us stepping out with a new look and bold direction for Africa’s race.
Will you be ready for Africa’s new race?
See you there. Enter here
