We specialise in organising trips to take part in some of the very best running events across Africa, the home of long distance running!

We believe that anyone should be able to experience the atmosphere and vibrancy running events create in Africa and we therefore actively encourage social runners as well as experienced runners to join us on the various events we promote and are in partnership with. Above all we believe that it is not about the time you ran, it is about the time you had! Not only do we want you to experience the t

hrill of taking part in a top running event in Africa – whether that be an ultra-marathon, marathon, half-marathon, 10k, trail-run or simply a fun-run – we want you to immerse yourself in all that each country has to offer and come back home having not only achieved your goal, but having had experiences to last a lifetime. This is why we set up Africa Marathons, to provide trips that combine our love of running with our knowledge of Africa to offer the kind of high quality experiences that resonates so deeply with people and will have travellers falling in love with this quite incredible Continent. At Africa Marathons we offer tailored packages for each marathon and design personalised, imaginative and high-quality adventures that show travellers the real Africa.

A very Merry Christmas to all of you from all of us! May your New Year be race filled and ready for some incredible adventures, maybe even with a safari thrown in there too 👀

Two Oceans isn’t JUST a race weekend, it’s an opportunity to experience Cape Town like never before.

Not only can you take on one of two incredible races (or both if you’re feeling fancy - check out our story), you can see the city in its prime. Packed with keen adventurers you can join the early morning dips and endless run clubs put on to help you prep for the big event, you can join the keen culinary fans in trying some of the best spots the city has to offer AND you can relax and unwind with an afternoon on some of the beautiful beaches or an easy wander along the prom.

This is Cape Town in its element, this is YOUR opportunity to be a part of it.
