The Parkinson's Foundation is an official charity partner for the 2026 Cape Town Marathon. By signing up to run as a Parkinson's Champion you commit to raising funds and awareness for the Parkinson's Foundation, and in return you get access to a free entry (bib) to the race in addition to tons of other fun benefits and perks. Register to run now at PDChampionsCapeTown.org.

Fundraising Commitments:

• Marathon - $2,250

*If you manage to purchase your own bib to the race and want to join the team as an Honorary Athlete, please email us at Run4PD@Parkinson.org

*The Cape Town Marathon is set to be confirmed as the newest Abbott World Marathon Major in November 2025. If at that point for some unlikely reason Cape Town is not selected as an Abbott Major, all registered runners will be allowed to transfer their fundraising and registration to a different available race of their choosing. 

As the newest Abbott World Major Marathon (to be confirmed Nov. 2025), and first ever on the continent of Africa, the Sanlam Cape Town Marathon is a global city race renowned for its beautiful, fast, and flat route that showcases Cape Town's ocean scenery, mountains, and cultural attractions. Experience the vibrant beauty of Cape Town and everything South Africa has to offer. 

If you have questions, send us an email at Run4PD@Parkinson.org. For more information about the race itself, visit the Cape Town Marathon Homepage.
