Chasing Speed and Scenery: The Balwin Sport Peninsula Marathon
For runners who love both speed and stunning scenery, the Balwin Sport Peninsula Marathon is an unmissable event. Taking place each February, this is Africa’s fastest point-to-point marathon, drawing elite competitors and everyday runners alike to its breathtaking coastal route. And this year, we’ll be right there at the finish line, ready to celebrate your success and equip you with the best running gear for your next adventure!
A Race Like No Other
Starting in the heart of Green Point, marathon runners are greeted by the golden hues of sunrise as they set off on a journey that takes them through the heart of the Cape Peninsula. With a mostly downhill profile, this course is built for speed, making it the perfect race for setting a personal best.
