Cape Town: The 10th anniversary of the Absa Run Your City Cape Town 10K was observed on Sunday, May 11, 2025 from Milnerton. The City of Cape Town officials would like to advise residents and participants on logistics for the race day.
Reportedly, a sold-out field of approx.15,000 people will take to the streets from Woodbridge Island in Milnerton to Lower Long Street in the CBD.
Moreover, the Absa Cape Town 10K iconic route is commemorating its 10th edition and is bringing together a diverse group of runners from the elites to recreational runners and those who are in it for the vibes.
The runners will enjoy iconic views of Table Mountain as they make their way along the coastline, onto the N1, and into the vibrant city bowl, passing some of the Mother City’s famed landmarks before crossing the finish line on lower Long Street.
As one of South Africa’s most loved mass participation events, the race transforms Cape Town’s roads into a high-energy course with entertainment, music and support zones that bring the route to life with good vibes for runners and similar spectators.
Considering this, Member of the Mayoral Committee for Safety and Security – Alderman JP Smith said that the City of Cape Town has remained with the Absa RUN YOUR CITY SERIES since its inception 10 years ago and it has been an event that has showcased the natural beauty of the city. Mainly, it is its vibrant energy and passion of people for sports.
Smith marked that this milestone is a celebration of the enduring spirit of the thousands of athletes who have taken part in the Absa race, especially those who have enhanced their healthy lifestyle thanks to the event and a wonderful reminder of the fun times they have had over the last decade.
They are looking forward to see the athletes back on the iconic route, following this weekend and creating the vibe that brings the running community together. They have worked hard with the event organisers over the last couple of months to provide a safe and smooth experience on race day, which ensured that both participants and spectators can enjoy the event with confidence.
