2026 Cape Town Marathon
Run one of the world’s most breathtaking races — and change lives while you do it!
Get ready to experience the 2026 Cape Town Marathon, the 8th and newest addition to the elite Abbott World Marathon Majors series. This spectacular 42.195 km course takes you through one of the planet’s most beautiful cities — a journey of sweeping ocean views, vibrant streets, and the majestic silhouette of Table Mountain.
Feel the pulse of Cape Town as you race past iconic landmarks like the Victoria & Alfred Waterfront, cheered on by locals and surrounded by the city’s electric energy. Every step is an experience — from stunning coastal stretches to cultural moments that make this marathon unlike any other.
When you run with Team Endure to Cure, every mile you conquer helps children fighting cancer. Your fundraising supports families with travel costs for treatment, delivers uplifting gifts, and creates moments of joy for kids who need it most.
Join us — run for adventure, for impact, and for something bigger than yourself.
