Join Team Inspire for The Sanlam Cape Town Marathon!

The Sanlam Cape Town Marathon has been confirmed as the first Abbott World Marathon Major to be held on African soil. Following the successful staging of its 2026 race on 24 May, the event has passed the second and final stage of its Abbott World Marathon Majors (AbbottWMM) assessment, becoming the eighth member of the most prestigious series in marathon running globally.

The race joins seven of the sport’s most celebrated marathons, Tokyo, Boston, London, Sydney, Berlin, Chicago and New York, and will formally enter the series at its next edition on May 23, 2027. Yet while becoming the eighth Major is a singular achievement, it is the event’s standing as Africa’s first that defines this moment in history.
