Cape Town Marathon 2018

Cape Town, South Africa

Cape Town Marathon One of World’s Most Stunning Races

Cape Town is one of the most beautiful cities in Africa—and possibly the world. Located on the southern tip of South Africa, Cape Town is nestled between the ocean and the lumbering and aptly-named Table Mountain. What better way to see it than running a race there?

The Cape Town Marathon 2018 starts a stone’s throw from the ocean, winds its way around the massive Table Mountain Nature Reserve, then back through the city. The race’s entry is capped, so make sure you plan ahead if you want to run it. Only 8,000 runners are allowed to compete each year.
