Runners adjust their mileage for other fall race dates as needed, but there’s usually someone else going your distance 😉

Showing up to the starting line HEALTHY is a big achievement. It takes hours of training consistently and prioritizing training. You can’t “cram” for a marathon without risking injury.

GOOD NEWS: FALL MARATHON TRAINING JUST STARTED! Whatever your pace, JOIN ALPINE for a consistent build up of miles over the next five or six months to get you RACE DAY READY 👊 www.AlpineRunners.com

It’s here. 🌍

After years of racing, building, and believing, the Sanlam Cape Town Marathon has officially passed the final stage of assessment and become the 8th Abbott World Marathon Majors race in the world. And the first, ever, on African soil. 🏅

On 23 May 2027, we take our place alongside Tokyo, Boston, London, Sydney, Berlin, Chicago and New York.

But this moment doesn’t belong to us. It belongs to you. Every runner who showed up season after season. Every partner, sponsor, volunteer, club captain, and supporter who refused to let go of this dream. 🙌

Africa. We did this. This is our collective victory. ✨

Africa’s 1st Major
