    The Sanlam Cape Town Marathon 2019 fun run and trail runs take place on the 14th September and the Marathon and 10km take place on Sunday the 15th September 2019.

    We have focused our information on the Marathon and 10k events, which our athletes are competing in.

    Cape Town Marathon 2019 Expo and Registration

    The Sanlam Cape Town Marathon 2019 Registration and EXPO will take place at the Century City Conference Centre (No. 4 Energy Lane, Bridgeways Precinct, Century City). This is just a few minutes from the Cape Town CBD.

    Tog Bag Drop

    There will be a tog bag drop-off zone and pick-up zone at the start and finish for both of the Sunday’s events.

    Race numbers

    Each athlete will be issued one race number. Registered club athletes must wear their ASA licences on the front and back of their vest. The race number must be worn on the front of the vest, partially covering the ASA licence, so that the ASA licence sponsor remains visible. Runners with a temporary licence must wear the race number on the front of their vest.

    Cape Town Marathon Seeding

    The letter in front of your race number indicates your seeding pen.

    Timing chip

    Your front race number is the number that has the finish time disposable timing chip attached. Please do not bend or fold your race number as this could affect the antennae and the signal capability of the chip.

    Wear your temporary timing chip during the race to qualify for position, race time and prizes. No chip, no time.

    TOP EVENTS will provide an emergency help-desk at the start line of the marathon, on the morning of the event.

    Water Stations

    There are water stations situated at every 3–5km or less. Both Coca-Cola and water will be available. Three water stations will have Powerade available.

    If you wish to carry your own water, there will be fill-up stations available at the following refreshment stations. Look out for the Bluewater station at:

    • Half Way – lookout for the BIGBOX container
    • Woolworths Food Station – lookout for the Bluewater trailer

    Toilets

    There are toilet facilities at the start, at all the water stations and the finish. There are extra toilets at the following points along the marathon route:

    • On Rondebosch Common at the Heart radio activation – at 31km
    • On Chiappini Street – at 40.2km

    Marathon Cut off Times

    Due to IAAF requirements, the race organisers will be strictly enforcing cut-off times in specific locations. There will be pick up buses for all athletes that do not make the cut-off times at the following points. Roving pick-ups will also take place.

    Here are the cut-offs:
