Overview

About this event

The 2023 The Balwin Properties Marathon took place Sunday, 2 April 2023 from 05:30, at Durban Amphitheatre, 41 Snell Parade, North Beach in Durban, KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. Distances included a 42km, 21km, 10km and 5km races.

The Balwin Properties Marathon is the continuation of the incredibly successful Dolphin Coast Marathon which achieved 10 000 entries in 2020 under the banner of Deloitte. With the Balwin Property Group on board as the Title Sponsor, we believe that the event will grow up to and beyond its status as one of the Premier Marathon Events in South Africa.

Starting and finishing at the Amphitheatre on the iconic Durban Promenade, the race is capped at 6000 entries this year and is expected to sell out before entries officially close on 27 March 2023. For the first time the high quality race shirt goes to all entries in the 42km, 21km AND the 10km races.

The Marathon is the second most popular choice in South Africa as a Comrades Qualifier. Don't miss out.
