More about the 2023 Route
The Absa RUN YOUR CITY CAPE TOWN 10K will once again be a point-to-point race. Starting at Woodbridge Island in Milnerton, runners will be guided along Marine Drive before looping on the ramp onto the N1. The route will then proceed along the N1 highway until the vibrant spirit of Cape Town’s inner city is reached, with the finish ready to welcome runners in Lower Long Street. The fast flat route combined with the exceptionally strong field of local and international athletes is the perfect recipe for an extremely fast race both in the men’s and women’s category, with a definite possibility of new 10km records being set.
