WHILE the road running and general sporting fraternity stand to benefit greatly from the 2016 Sanlam Cape Town Marathon, local communities and sectors of society are again also expected to receive major boosts through the success of the annual event.
The Cape Town marathon will take place on September 18.
As the only standard marathon race in Africa to be awarded IAAF Silver Label status, organisers, partners and stakeholders will again use the annual spring weekend road running festival to make a difference beyond the world of sport.
The weekend festival, held over two days with the marathon race taking centre stage on Sunday, will again consist of a variety of options for participants:
– Sanlam Cape Town Marathon (42.2km);
– Sanlam Cape Town 10km PEACE Run/Walk;
– Sanlam Cape Town 4.2km Fun Run; and
– Sanlam Cape Town Peace Trail Runs (12km and 22km).
Entries for the 2016 race are open, visit www.capetownmarathon.com for more information.
