This event features two major road races: a 56 km ultramarathon on Saturday and a 21.1 km half marathon on Sunday, both starting in Newlands and finishing at UCT Rugby Fields in Rondebosch. The ultra route winds through the Cape Peninsula, past coastal vistas, iconic passes, and mountain roads, while the half marathon runs through forest roads and city stretches. Entries are allocated by ballot and capped for fairness, with full support including hydration stations, medical services, timing, and finisher medals. The 2026 edition marks the partnership with Stillwater Sports as the new staging and commercial partner, aiming to enhance the experience and uphold the event’s legacy as “the world’s most beautiful marathon.”
