Overview

About this event

The 2024 Balwin Sport Pretoria Marathon took place on Sunday, 25 February 2024, at Phobians Club in Pretoria, Gauteng. Distances were 42.2km, 21.1km, 10km and 5km. Official results have been published by the timekeeper. It was a qualifying event for both the Comrades Marathon and the Two Oceans Marathon.

The Pretoria Marathon, hosted by Phobians Athletics Club, has been held for almost 30 years in the capital city and has become a legendary test of fitness.

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 wildebees 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.

Perfectly timed as a qualifier for both Two Oceans and Comrades, our race combines a great challenge, lovely Highveld scenery and spirited support from our friendly club volunteers.
