Overview

About this event

The 2026 Voet van Afrika Marathon took place from Friday, 18 to Saturday, 19 September 2026, at Bredasdorp sport grounds in Bredasdorp, Western Cape. Distances were 42.2km, 27.5km, 21.1km, 13.5km, 10km and 3.5km. Results are available on RunningCalendar.

What makes Voet van Afrika legendary? It's a race that demands respect, it test your lungs, your quads, and your mental fortitude. A unique road running and trail run event, and there is a reward: the scenery and the warm hospitality of the Bredasdorp community.

Running the 45th Voet van Afrika isn't about the medal; it's about saying "I was there" for the landmark moment in South African running history.

Entrants to the 21.1km route who park at the start in Napier can purchase a return bus ticket from Bredasdorp Sport Grounds, for R90 to collect their vehicles. Shuttles will run from 10h30 and the last bus will depart at 12h30. They will run on a continuous basis and will depart once full.
