The Sanlam Cape Town Marathon, taking place on 24 May 2026, is one step closer to joining the prestigious Abbott World Marathon Majors.
The Sanlam Cape Town Marathon will take place on Sunday, May 24, with organisers and the City warning of significant traffic disruptions along the route.
Several roads will be closed, and restrictions will be implemented in areas affected by the race. The City has urged residents, motorists, and participants to take note of the logistical arrangements in place for race day.
The marathon route will link Green Point, the Cape Town CBD, Woodstock, Salt River, Observatory, the Southern Suburbs and Sea Point. Roads in these areas are expected to be impacted for several hours on Saturday and Sunday.
Authorities have advised road users to plan their travel and expect delays across the affected parts of the city during the weekend of the event.
