The Cape Cobra. Bigger, bolder, and ready to test every ounce of your grit. Run where fynbos meets fury, across wild ridgelines and hidden valleys of Table Mountain National Park - the heart of the world's diverse floral kingdom. This is South Africa's most fearless trail marathon, where beauty and brutality collide.
What to expect?
A rollercoaster of pure rebellion. Venom-laced endurance. Electric guitar shredding the national anthem on the start line. Drummers on the opening chute. Keytarists on route. Last year we had 3 bands, rugby on the big screen, a kids zone and fun run and more that 80 prizes! We even had a polar bear giving out more than 1000 free ice creams! This year we're taking it back to the original Table Mountain Route, from coast to vineyards, and you get to run it first! Raw elevation, rock and roll descents, fynbos and fury.
