THANK YOU, PRETORIA
What a day. What a city. What a community.
To every runner who stood on the start line and took on the challenge — thank you.
Whether you conquered 42.2km, 21.1km, 10km or 5km, you showed courage, commitment and heart.
From the climbs of Klapperkop to the final stride down the home straight, you made the course come alive.
We are proud of every single one of you.

About the Balwin Sport Pretoria Marathon
For nearly three decades, the Pretoria Marathon has carved out its place as a storied athletic tradition.
The race is a double-lapper, winding through leafy streets of jacarandas and climbing up to historic Fort Klapperkop, with its spectacular views of the city bowl and the Union Buildings.
If you’re in luck you may spot zebras and wildebeest alongside the road, before dropping down to Fountains Circle.
Dig deep for a push up to Brooklyn when the route takes you through the grounds and past the beautiful old buildings of Pretoria Boys High School, and then back to the finish at the PBHS Old Boys Club.
As a qualifying ground for the Two Oceans and Comrades marathons, it challenges even the toughest endurance athletes with its high-altitude test. Rise to the occasion. Push your limits. Endure. Achieve.
