THE Cape Town TRAIL MARATHON

AN EXTRAORDINARY MOUNTAIN MARATHON On the trails of world renowned Table Mountain National Park

Ryan Sandes' exciting collaboration with the Sanlam Cape Town Marathon showcases his favourite trails on Table Mountain and notes that although he has been fortunate to run all over the world, he still thinks “there is no place like Cape Town”. Join Ryan's vision for Cape Town Trail Marathon to become one of the must-do iconic events on the global trail running circuit.

The Trail Running Event of a Lifetime

Knowing the mountains of the Cape Peninsula like the back of his hand, South African trail running champion Ryan Sandes has mapped out the trails of the Cape Town Trail Marathon which will have runners traversing above the city of Cape Town to experience the flora, fauna and sweeping vistas of the Table Mountain National Park and Atlantic Ocean. The trails weave through one of the world’s most diverse and rare floral kingdoms, the Cape Floristic Region, and many of the species seen on this trail, cannot be found anywhere else on Earth.
