Nelson Mandela Marathon 2026

18 October 2026 | Cape Town

Be part of the inaugural Nelson Mandela Marathon and run through the beautiful streets of Cape Town in an event inspired by legacy, unity and collective action.

Thousands of runners will share one historic number: 46664 — Nelson Mandela’s prison number.

You are stepping into something larger than your own pace, your own time and your own story.

Rise.
Remember.
Run.

By entering through ILoveBoobies, your race supports two meaningful causes.

You will be supporting the legacy and work of the Nelson Mandela Foundation while, during Breast Cancer Awareness Month, your ILoveBoobies entry will also fund a free breast health screening for a woman in an underserved community.

One race. Two causes. A whole lot of impact.
