The biggest running event on the Cape Winelands calendar, the Sportsmans Warehouse Winelands Marathon, takes place on 30 November at Eikestad Primary School, Stellenbosch.
This is Helderberg’s showpiece, run on a beautiful undulating route through the winelands of Stellenbosch and Somerset West.
This year celebrates an important milestone for the marathon which is being the 45th anniversary of the Winelands Marathon.
Runners can choose to run one of three races; a 42,2 km marathon for the runners that want to go all the way.
Followed by a half marathon of 21,1 km, 10 km, and for those not up to longer distances and the younger ones, there’s a 5 km Fun Run.
The marathon is an official Two Oceans ultra-marathon and Comrades qualifier, and there will be plenty of Western Province pace setters to help athletes reach their goal for both the flagship races.
