Sanlam Cape Town Marathon announces the 2024 marathon route!
Another iconic Cape Town landmark has been added to this year's route.
Sanlam Cape Town Marathon has released the official route for this year’s 42.2km run across the Mother City with less than two months left until race day. The event planners had to innovate to make the 2024 route something special as Cape Town strives to become Africa’s 1st Abbott World Marathon Major.
The inner-city Plein Street stretch has been swapped for a scenic run through the Company Gardens, bringing a touch of shade and a less daunting incline. Runners can also be on the lookout for The Big Five hiding in the bushes.
Other additions include a DJ booth, a minstrels group, and a giant lionfish float at Salt River Circle to lift runners' spirits. The race finishes off with a seaside sprint and the iconic blue carpet.
Tickets are predicted to sell out soon, so get yours and join the hype on the 20th October 2024. Head to Sanlam Cape Town Marathon’s website for more information.
