Event information
The first run of the new season and one of the biggest in Cape Town, the OUTsurance Gun Run is back, inviting runners to shake off the winter rust and kick summer off with a medal.
As usual, fitness enthusiasts take to the coastal roads of the Atlantic Seaboard for a fast-paced, scenic race through the Mother City. In 2026, there's even more to take in, with up-and-coming athletes, an all-new recovery experience for tired legs, and an Olympian returning to defend his title.
The biggest storyline for South African running fans is undoubtedly the return of Khoarahlane Seutloali, last year's champion and the current course record holder. The Lesotho-born long-distance runner is one of the hottest names in African athletics, winning the Two Oceans Marathon in 2025 and representing his home country in the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.
After crossing the finish line, participants can head to the race village for treatment at Hotel Armoure, Under Armour's premium recovery facility designed especially for the Gun Run. 10km and half-marathon runners can expect access to recovery boots, sports massages, ice baths, and expert guidance from fitness professionals.
All races finish on the Green Point Common, with food stalls, a kiddies play area, and family-friendly fun for everyone.
