Where the 2026 guide stood

Green Point Main Road near 34.2 km. Sea Point promenade about 36.3–41.4 km, out and back. Finish on Vlei Road, public seating first come, first served.

Ready-made plans

Sea Point, then Vlei Road

Adult support crew

The 2026 spectator guide describes an out-and-back on the promenade, then the Vlei Road finish. The 2027 FAQ does not replace that guide.

  1. Mile 22.6

    Sea Point promenade

    Walk. A 2027 train plan was not on the FAQ.

    2026 guide: runners go out and back between about 36.3 km and 41.4 km, so one spot sees them twice. 36.3 km is about 22.6 miles.

  2. Mile 26.2

    Vlei Road finish

    Walk from Green Point.

    2027 FAQ: finish is Vlei Road. 2026 guide: public grandstand.

Meetup: Vlei Road grandstand. The 2026 guide says public seating is first come, first served.

Skip the start crush

Family

The 2026 final instructions and spectator guide both say not to gather at the start.

  1. Mile 21.3

    Green Point Main Road

    Walk.

    2026 guide: KFM zone around 34.2 km, about 21.3 miles. Treat the kilometre as 2026 until a 2027 map is posted.

  2. Mile 26.2

    Vlei Road

    Walk.

    Finish for all events in the 2027 FAQ.
