The Sanlam Cape Town Marathon is Africa's first Abbott World Marathon Majors Candidate.
We’re proud to support South African charities by offering a bulk entry process for the 2025 Sanlam Cape Town Marathon. This process empowers charities to mobilise their communities, purchase entries in bulk, and manage distribution independently.
This form is for local charities to register (apply) for bulk entries to the 2025 Sanlam Cape Town Marathon. If you're a charity looking to purchase entries and distribute them to your supporters or community members, you're in the right place.
This page is not for individual race entries. If you want to enter the event as a participant, head over to the Sanlam Cape Town Marathon 2025 entry page.
Charity entries are not discounted.
Register your charity by completing this online form.
Indicate the number and type of entries your charity is requesting (e.g. 10 x 10km entries).
We’ll review all applications within 72 hours and confirm how many entries your charity has been allocated (based on availability).

Your charity can distribute the codes as it sees fit.
You will receive bi-weekly reports to help track the redemption of promo codes.
