\u201cWe are excited to be back in Cape Town, to paint the Mother City red. All runners will get to experience our vibrant, fun Warm-Up Zone that will be located within the athlete holding area.

 <\/p>\n

\u201cAlong the race route, participants will come across our Absa Encouragement Zone, where our Absa colleagues and dancers will be cheering them on as they strive to reach the finish line.

More about the 2023 Route<\/u>: The Absa RUN YOUR CITY CAPE TOWN 10K will once again be a point-to-point race. Starting at Woodbridge Island in Milnerton, runners will be guided along Marine Drive before looping on the ramp onto the N1. The route will then proceed along the N1 highway until the vibrant spirit of Cape Town\u2019s inner city is reached, with the finish ready to welcome runners in Lower Long Street. The fast flat route combined with the exceptionally strong field of local and international athletes is the perfect recipe for an extremely fast race both in the men\u2019s and women\u2019s category with a definite possibility of new 10km records being set.<\/p>\n
