Event information
The Cape Town Festival of Running is a beloved running festival, with racers of various skill levels competing in a range of categories.
This celebration of athleticism and Cape Town takes runners from the Sea Point Promenade all the way down the peninsula’s coastal roads. With distances ranging from a half-marathon to a 50km ultra-marathon and even a 5x5km relay race, there are options for all fitness levels. The unique 5x5km relay race is especially attractive for those who don't usually participate in running events, and is ideal for families, corporate teams, and groups of friends.
The event expects over 10 000 participants, all chasing medals along some of the best views the city has to offer, with the majority of the race taking place between Lion’s Head and the Atlantic Ocean.
