Everyone at Abbott World Marathon Majors is saddened at the news of the cancellation of the 2025 Sanlam Cape Town Marathon due to severe overnight winds.
The race was set to pursue its second consecutive successful evaluation in its candidacy to become an Abbott World Marathon Major. AbbottWMM leadership will be working with the Cape Town team soon to obtain more information and discuss the next course of action.
Dawna Stone, AbbottWMM CEO said: “We were excited to see all the progress the team in Cape Town had made this year after passing their evaluation in 2024. Our hearts go out to the organizers, volunteers and participants who wanted to make this a historic day, and appreciate what a difficult decision this must have been.”
We will provide a further update in the coming days.
