5 km Run / Walk

4 April 2025

International and Rest-of-Africa entrants are invited to meet on the Friday morning preceding the weekend’s Ultra and Half Marathons for a scenic 5km run or walk at DHL Cape Town Stadium.

A ‘shake-out’ run in our Official Host City, the City of Cape Town, often voted the most beautiful city in the world. A perfect pre-cursor to the ‘world’s most beautiful marathon’ and South Africa’s biggest running event.

Meet fellow runners from all over the world getting into the #Conquer spirit, and invite up to three family members or friends to join you for a nominal fee as you proudly jog with your country flag.
