Races/South Africa
Training plan for the Sanlam Cape Town Marathon
Sunday, 23 May 2027 in Cape Town, South Africa. That is 27 weeks away.
When a build would have to start
OLTRA plans a block of a length that suits the distance, then works backwards from race day. For this one:
Marathon — a 18-week build, 5 runs a week
Starts the week of 11 January 2027 — 9 weeks in hand.
On the day
One distance: Marathon. Entries, course and timings are capetownmarathon.com’s. They decide when entries open and close, and whether the race runs at all — OLTRA sells nothing here and takes nothing from them.
The date here is the one the organiser published, rechecked every 1 hour against the list. Confirm it on their site before you enter.
