Sanlam Cape Town Marathon
The most significant change is that the start and finish will move to Helen Suzman Boulevard, and that runners will head directly to Woodstock, cutting out the loop through Mouille Point.
Course Highlights
From Helen Suzman Boulevard in Green Point, heading back to the Foreshore, runners will turn left onto Buitengracht Street and then onto FW de Klerk Boulevard. From Nelson Mandela Boulevard athletes will take the Searle Road offramp and continue along Searle Road until turning right into Main Road, Woodstock.
Runners will follow Main Road all the way to Newlands and until they reach Stanhope Road in Claremont, from where they will head back to Rondebosch Common via Palmyra, Sandown and Milner Road.
Liesbeek Parkway will take runners back to the city and a turn into Russell Street marks the start of a winding section along the historic Sir Lowry, Tennant, Hanover and Christiaan Street through Zonnebloem, before Roeland, Hatfield, Orange and vibrant Long Street will feed them onto Riebeeck Street.
The Waterkant bridge over Buitengracht Street has been removed to ensure that the race is suitable for athletes in wheelchairs. Athletes will cover this section of the route by crossing from Riebeek Street into Somerset Road making use of the 2010 Fan Walk before heading to Sea Point.
Runners will welcome the cool ocean breeze and sea views as they run out and back along Beach Road to the finish on Helen Suzman Boulevard, where they will receive their well-deserved medal and can enjoy the post-race vibe in the finish village off Vlei Road.
These changes have been made to be in line with the safety and capacity requirements as stipulated by the Abbott World Marathon Majors, and to reduce the race’s impact on traffic flow in and around the City.
Athletes will stand to benefit from reduced congestion at the start, a more spectator-friendly route - especially in the second half of the race - and a total climbing altitude of under 400m.
From start to finish, the route will feature spectacular views and iconic landmarks, while showcasing the vibrant sights, sounds, spirit and rich cultural history of some of the Mother City’s diverse neighbourhoods.

Last month was my 3rd participation at Cape Town Marathon and it certainly was my last. Clearly the organizers put commercial interest above the runner's (health) interest. Also after several attempts to receive comments from the race office after the race, so far no one bothered to follow up on my requests. There are plenty of better marathon alternatives in the Western Cape.
Well organised, expo two days prior to the race with lots of exhibitors. Route profile fairly flat and you get to see most of the beautiful sights of Cape Town. The support along the way was very good with aid stations providing everything form water, coke, power aid, slated snacks, energy gums and a whole lot more. Results are available immediately. Spectator support was excellent with local bands and local outfits worn,
Always well organised. I have run this event 7 times and it has been a different route every single time. It is a flat, city marathon, but the location gives incredible beauty. Definitely one of Africa's biggest marathons and growing every year.
There is a 10KM and a marathon for this event. Why not run the full marathon?
Awesome big city race. Flat course for fast run, PB possibility. Not as testing as the Two Oceans ultra, albeit minus some of the scenery, although the remaining scenery is quite spectacular (table mountain as a backdrop for a large part of the race). Easy race for a first marathon.
