Capetown Marathon Seeks Africa’s Top Talent

Capetown Marathon Seeks Africa’s Top Talent

“The city of Capetown is one of the most beautiful cities in the world,” Francois Pienarr, Capetown Marathon ambassador told CCTV Africa. “There are 10 million people that run two marathons annually in the world. You just gotta give them an excuse to come to Capetown. We know that in a short space of time, we will be one of the leading marathons in Africa.”

South Africa is working toward luring the continent’s top long-distance running talent with their newly, re-branded Capetown marathon. Ultimately, according to CCTV Africa, the organizers would like for the marathon to rise within the lists of top international marathons.  Although Africa has more than 90 percent of the world’s top runners, there has yet to be established a major city marathon event.
