This article provides detailed information on all South Africa’s January 2024 marathons including race descriptions and recommendations. You can find the full 2024 marathon / ultra calendar here.
A summary of your choices is below:
Weekend One (3-4 Feb)
Marathon running is in full steam in February with 20 confirmed qualifiers at the time of writing. However, the first weekend gets off to a slow start with two choices. The Meerkat Marathon provides an excellent on foot tour of some of Kimberley’s historic sites like the Big Hole, Rhodes Memorial (with canons and other artefacts from the Anglo Boer War), the Northern Cape houses of parliament and the Star of the West (the oldest pub in South Africa). Your other option is the point-to-point Bhekizizwe Joseph Shabalala Marathon from Watersmeet to Ladysmith which honours the legacy of the late Ladysmith Black Mambazo leader.
Weekend Two (10-11 Feb)
Joburg runners are spoilt for choice with the Aquelle Joburg North City Marathon and Balwin Sport Jeppe Marathon on the second weekend. The latter makes a return to the running calendar after an extended absence. Another big event this weekend is the Rolando Hillcrest Marathon which provides two-laps of terror for those wanting to get acquainted with the hills on this section of the Comrades route. For those who like city running in the Free State, take a look at the Kloppers Marathon which provides a good test around the streets of Bloemfontein.
There are also some great out-of-town options this weekend. The City of Mbombela / Jock of the Bushveld Marathon from Barberton to Mbombela has plenty of testing climbs to provide some ideal training for Comrades’ hills. However, if you want to keep things fast and flat, then the Aurum Klerksdorp Marathon is a good option. The good news is that there is just one hill in Klerksdorp, the bad news is that the organisers do make sure to show it off to their visiting runners.
Weekend Three (17-18 Feb)
The fast-and-flat trend continues post Valentine’s Day with the Sasol Secunda, CDM Polokwane and Balwin Sport Peninsula Marathons. Secunda is an industrial double-lapper around the coalfields of Mpumalanga whilst CDM Polokwane provides a tour of Limpopo’s capital city where the biggest challenge is usually the heat.
Peninsula in the Cape boasts a scenic point-to-point route from Green Point to the naval base in Simon’s Town with plenty of coastline running along the second half. This is an excellent option for upcountry runners who want to make a weekend of it and get the benefit of the thick sea-level air over a pancake flat route – it’s all fun and games unless the South Easter wind blows!
There is also the Zabalaza Marathon from Cato Ridge in KZN this weekend. However, buyer beware, last year runners arrived at the start only to find that the organisers had not actually organised a marathon but only had a 10km. According to eyewitness reports, it was the first time anyone has seen the normally amiable Julian Karp ‘spitting mad’.
Weekend Four (24-25 Feb)
February’s final weekend is jam-packed with nine options. For those who’ve been holding out for a ‘downhill special’, the Cango Marathon (from the famous caves to Oudtshoorn) and the SA Home Loans Buffs Marathon in East London deliver popular qualifiers.
The Free State also provides a pair of options. The Santam Bielie Mielie Marathon forms part of the annual festival in Reitz with an out-and-back route over undulating country roads and plenty of picturesque farmland scenery. The first ultra of the year is the Anco 48km in Welkom. This is three laps around Circle City which is ideal mental preparation for Harrison Flats.
One of my favourites on the calendar is the TWK Assegaai Marathon close to the Swaziland border. The route is really simple – you run all the way to the Assegaai River and then you turn around and run back again. The first 8km provides a gentle climb and then you have a long gentle decline before a final plummet to the river. This means that the Assegaai stabs you in the back with lots of climbing over the second half but some of the best support tables in the country will get you back home again.
Local legend has it that if you drink from the Assegaai river, it will forever be in your blood. Local common sense has it that if you drink from the Assegaai river, you will have a severe case of explosive diarrhoea. The motto of the organising club is “Laat waai, Assegaai,” which translates as “Let loose, Assegaai.” – one glass of unfiltered river water and you’ll definitely be letting loose all over the place!
The Balwin Sport Pretoria Marathon in our nation’s capital is one of the tougher marathons out there. The double-lap route winds you up Waterkloof Ridge to the top of Klapperkop Hill before murdering your quads with a rapid descent that takes you all the way into the beautiful grounds of Pretoria Boys’ High School. And if you like RUNNING in capitals, then another option is the Capital City Marathon in Pietermaritzburg. For those nostalgic about the Comrades Down Run start, the race starts in from of the iconic City Hall but the rest of the route explores new territory around KZN’s capital.
For those who like running in Joburg’s townships without the hills of Soweto Marathon, the Township Marathon provides plenty of community participation over a relatively flat double-lapper. The race promises a unique township vibe and the route takes in several points of interest and historic sites like Walter Sisulu Square where the Freedom Charter was signed in 1955.
Your final February choice is the 50km Runified City ultra marathon in Gqeberha. This is the first year that the Runified 50 will be a mass participation event open to all runners and not just elites chasing world records. The route has changed to a 10km loop, followed by a 34km out-and-back stretch and then a final 6km loop to conclude the ultra.
Below are full details of each race as well as flyers, photos and route profiles (where available).

Vodacom Meerkat Marathon (Sat 3 Feb): Confirmed
| Race Description | The flat route provides a great on foot tour of some of Kimberley’s historic sites like the Big Hole, Rhodes Memorial (with canons and other artefacts from the Anglo Boer War), the Northern Cape houses of parliament and the Star of the West (the oldest pub in South Africa). The scenery over the route varies a great deal and provides a cosmopolitan perspective of suburbia, township, industrial and country life in and around the city. A carnival-like atmosphere awaits all finishers at Bishops Old Boys’ sports fields line. You can have a beer at the oldest pub in South Africa – the Star of the West – before, after or during or your marathon. If your legs are too tired after the race, you can always try the Halfway House – the first drive-in pub in South Africa. |

Bay Marathon (Sat 03 Feb): Cancelled
Flyer (where available)
| Race Description | This looks to be a replacement for the Bay Ultra which was one of my favourite races from 2018 – a lovely 50km route with plenty of climbing over the first half before you drop back to sea level and a 20km Marine Drive finish along pristine Eastern Cape coastline. Running in Gqeberha (formerly Port Elizabeth) is always a treat – you’ll definitely get to experience the ‘Friendly City’ – but hopefully you’ll get a gentle sea-breeze and avoid experiencing the ‘Windy City’. The organisers are making an ongoing effort to reduce carbon footprint reduction and stand out as a leader in progressive race organisation and environmental efforts. All finishers will be awarded with bamboo medals and welcomed onto a “green carpet” on the finish line. There will be no water sachets on the 5km fun run route. |

| Race Description | The race followed a new route in 2019 but still has the same great sponsor (Kloppers have sponsored the race since its inception over 30 years ago). For those who’ve never run around the City of Roses, it can be surprisingly hilly – but the organisers have made sure they keep the climbing to a minimum with the objective of securing a good qualifier for their runners. |

Aurum Klerksdorp Marathon (Sun 11 Feb): Confirmed
| Race Description | The largest town in the North West province boasts a well organised, fast and flat marathon with great water tables. This route has changed to a double-lap in 2020 through the suburbs to give runners more shade and less traffic. There is just one hill in Klerksdorp – but of course they make sure to show it off to their visiting runners during the marathon. The race is organised in collaboration with The Aurum Institute – a leading healthcare organisation that has successfully been battling the joint scourge of HIV and TB for the past 20 years. |

Balwin Sport Jeppe Marathon (Sun 11 Feb): Confirmed
| Race Description | One of the highlights on the Joburg running calendar is back as part of the Balwin Sport marathon series.to give Joburg runners the opportunity to hurtle around Bedfordview and Edenvale. Some runners think this course is tough (but they are wrong and need to get out more). Although there are one or two short, sharp steep pulls, most of the climbing is gentle – the highest-lowest point elevation difference is just 76m. You also do most of the hard work on the first half of the lap, hit the highest point (1672m) and then fly home from Gillooly’s Farm to the finish (1596m). You just need to remember to leave a little in the tank for a nasty pull in the last kilometre. |

Rolando Hillcrest Marathon (Sun 11 Feb): Confirmed
| Race Description | If you ever wondered what a real avenue of trees looks like, Hillcrest is the place to find out. The route provides the astute runner an opportunity to get acquainted with the undulations and atmosphere they’ll encounter on their way down to Durban during Comrades later in the year. Whilst Comrades slowly processes 20,000 runners through Kwazulu Natal’s colon, you get to see the fresher, unprocessed side of the suburbs during the Hillcrest Marathon. This is one of the most scenic city runs I’ve done and, whilst I am not one to rush into definitive statements, Hillcrest can definitely lay claim to being the most beautiful double-lap, urban marathon in South Africa. |

Sasol Secunda Marathon (Sat 17 Feb): Confirmed
| Race Description | After Sasol founded Sasolburg, they decided to establish a second town around the nearby coalfields of Mpumalanga. They called the town Secunda (which I imagine narrowly beat out Sasolburg II in the naming stakes). Sasol retains their dominance on the area by sponsoring both the Sasolburg and Secunda Marathons. The Secunda marathon is your standard, flat, industrial double-lapper. If running to the backdrop of massive cooling towers, smoky chimneys and giant steel constructions is your thing, then this is the race for you. The race claims to provide slightly more variety than their sister town of Sasolburg with a few gentle undulations to stop your legs from going to sleep – and if you are feeling tired the lively support tables will give you a boost. |

Battlefields Marathon (Sat 24 Feb): Cancelled
| Race Description | This is a hilly out-and-back route along the quiet D96 passed Fort Amiel (a garrison from the Anglo Boer which is now a national monument).

TWK Assegaai Marathon (Sat 24 Feb): Confirmed
| Race Description | An excellent race close to the Swaziland border. The route is really simple – you run all the way to the Assegaai River and then you turn around and run back again. The first 8km provides a gentle climb and then you have a long gentle decline before a final plummet to the river. This means that the Assegaai stabs you in the back with lots of climbing over the second half. Local legend has it that if you drink from the Assegaai river, it will forever be in your blood. Local common sense has it that if you drink from the Assegaai river, you will have a severe case of explosive diarrhoea. The motto of the organising club is “Laat waai, Assegaai,” which translates as “Let loose, Assegaai.” – one glass of unfiltered river water and you’ll definitely be letting loose all over the place! The race entry is worth is just to experience the Charka support table – undoubtedly the best table I’ve ever had the pleasure of frequenting. Tables are every 2km along the route and compete for prestigious annual trophies. |
