Sports events Capetown

The Cape Argus Cycle Tour is one of the most popular sporting events in the Cape region. This cycle race covers no less than 109km passing through several villages on the Cape Peninsula, not to mention the climb up the legendary Chapman's Pick road which offers a superb view from the top of the mountain in front of the ocean, behind the mountains and the vineyards. For the sporty and adventurous, this is a great opportunity to explore the region, taking in extraordinary landscapes not accessible by car.

During the Easter weekend, it is the most important sporting event in Cape Town, both for the locals and the marathon runners, as well as for the economy of the city and even the Cape Town region. And for good reason, it brings together more than 15,000 people each year and is broadcast live on local television. There are two events on the programme: the ultra-marathon, 56 km, and the half-marathon, 21 km. The race route via Chapman's Peak, Hout Bay and Constantia Nek is sublime.
