About Marakele Marathon & Half Marathon | 2026
7th Mar 26 - Thabazimbi

If the prospect of running a marathon through one of South Africa’s most spectacular National Parks - and home to the Big Five - stirs your blood, then the Marakele Marathon is everything your heart desires, and more.


This year our Iconic Marakele Medal Series celebrates the Cape Vulture. With an estimated 800 breeding pairs, the Waterberg cliffs are home to one of the largest colonies in the world.


Whether you run one, two, or all three, each medal will take pride of place in your trophy cabinet. If you’re a family seeking an unforgettable adventure, a dedicated club runner, or a serious athlete aiming to qualify for Two Oceans or Comrades, this is the race for you..
