Running in the southernmost point of the African continent in a unique place that combines the urban side of a cosmopolitan city with the solitary nature that runs along the Atlantic coast: this is RMB Ultra-Trail Cape Town. It is the most important ultra race in Africa that every November attracts more than two thousand runners from 47 countries.
The organizers offer several distances and routes, but RMB Ultra-Trail Cape Town is known for the 100 km distance with 4972 m elevation gain, passing through famous landmarks such as as the “Twelve Apostles”, a series of peaks with spectacular views of the rugged coastline and the iconic Table Mountain. Participants will have unforgettable memories as they cross the finish line with Cape Town and its four million inhabitants in the background.
RMB Ultra-Trail Cape Town has become one of the most important races on the global trail calendar and attracts participants from all around the world. Elites such as Cody Reed, Courtney Dauwalter, Lucy Bartholomew or Dimitry Mitiaev have all put their names in the history books of this South African event. The race is broadcast worldwide via streaming but it is worth exploring the beautiful African race for yourself.
