The first African Abbott World Marathon Major and one of the most stunningly located races in the world. The course starts at Cape Town Stadium, runs along the Atlantic through Green Point, Sea Point and Mouille Point, then through the colorful Bo-Kaap neighborhood and the city center, before finishing back at the stadium. Runners are accompanied throughout by views of Table Mountain - one of the New 7 Wonders of Nature. The race stands out for its rolling profile, PB-friendly surface, and a unique combination of athletic challenge and breathtaking ocean-and-mountain scenery.
