Cape Town Virtual Marathon

The Sanlam Cape Town Virtual Marathon enables athletes from across the globe to be a part of the iconic city marathon on 18 October 2020, by running their choice of the 42.2km marathon, 21.1km half marathon or the 5km / 10km Peace Run.

Powered by this custom-built virtual app, you get to experience advanced live GPS tracking, a global leader board, and the vibe of a real race through the app’s dynamic 3D audio that will make you feel like you’re running in the heart of the Mother City.

Once you press start on the virtual app, all you need to do is run. Through the app, you will enjoy the full Sanlam Cape Town Marathon race experience, no matter where you are in the world - from the start line ceremony, the lighting of the Peace Torch and the promenade sounds of seagulls and crashing ocean waves, to the local crowds and Cape minstrels cheering you on. PLUS - the app’s crystal clear surround sound will transport you to legendary locations along the traditional race route in Cape Town, and iconic moments in history.

And when you finish, there’s no need to upload results to a 3rd party site - the app’s advanced GPS tracking has that covered.
