The Cape Town Marathon Virtual Race

“We’re living in uncertain times and everyone is trying to make sense of what the possible future could hold for each of our lives individually and also for event organizers and mass participation events.  While events are being cancelled and postponed worldwide, so the leadership team from Sanlam Cape Town Marathon had to make a call on what direction to take. It was this thinking that gave birth to the Sanlam Cape Town Marathon Virtual Race.”

François Pienaar
