International and Rest-of-Africa Totalsports Two Oceans Marathon entrants are invited to meet for a scenic 5km run or walk, usually on the Friday before the Ultra Marathon. The Cape Town International Friendship Run is held most years.
Enjoy a ‘shakeout’ run in our Official Host City, the City of Cape Town, globally lauded for its spectacular scenic beauty and tourism allure. Cape Town, or the ‘Mother City’ as it is affectionately known, is frequently recognised as one of the top cities in the world. The Friendship Run is the 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.

Thursday, 9 April 2026
DHL Stadium Forecourt on Fritz Sonneberg Road
4.5km | 1 000 participants
R250 per participant (Includes T-shirt and a pair of high performance Versus socks)
If you’re an International or Rest-of-Africa runner, you and up to two accompanying guests must pre-register for this race, should you wish to participate.
Your participation armbands will be included in your race packs, and colour-coded according to your start batches. You will be permitted to join the race only if you are wearing an official armband.
Venue opens: 08h00 | Venue closes: 12h00
You will start at the Forecourt and proceed through the East Gate of Green Point Park. At the lighthouse, you’ll continue along the scenic Sea Point Promenade.
Upon your return, you will follow the same path back, passing the lighthouse once more, and continue along to the Fritz Sonneberg intersection. From there, turn towards the DHL Stadium and finish at the Forecourt.
Marshals will be stationed along the route to guide and support you. For safety reasons, you may be stopped briefly at two major intersections to assist with traffic flow and ensure smooth passage.
As a Cape Town International Friendship Run entrant, you are required to collect your race pack containing your official armband at the Expo. You may not collect these once race pack collection closes.
If you are collecting on behalf of a group or team, please ensure that each runner receives his/her correct race pack and official armband. This is vital in order to avoid issues in case of an emergency, or disciplinary measures after the race.
