Ferreira 082 555 8766 Cape Town City Marathon & 10km SUNDAY 22 SEPTEMBER – CAPE TOWN, WESTERN PROVINCE Rapidly growing in size and popularity, this race has the potential to become one of the world’s Big City marathon classics. It takes in many of the sights of the Mother City, including Table Mountain, the Atlantic Seaboard and various historical sites, while also offering runners a flat course that promises fast times. In fact, this route is flat as a pancake – but the race still has an extended eight-hour cut-off to make it accessible to both first-time marathoners and walkers. Starting in Adderley Street, the race winds its way through the CBD and neighbouring suburbs out to Rondebosch and Pinelands, then loops back through the Waterfront and on to the Green Point Promenade before finishing at the newly opened Green Point Athletics Track, next to the stunning Cape Town Stadium. You can run a blisteringly fast time on this course, but you could also enjoy a sight-seeing tour of the Mother City. That’s up to you, of course.
