Overview

About this event

The 2019 Voet van Afrika Marathon took place Saturday, 12 October 2019 from 06:00, at Bredasdorp Sports Grounds in Bredasdorp, Western Cape, South Africa. Distances included a 42km, 21km, 10km and 4km races.

The Voet van Afrika Marathon is a test of mental and physical endurance, it is something different.

The route is unique taking you through farming areas, gravel road and jeep tracks across the mountain with fynbos views - the last stretch from Napier is on tar road to Bredasdorp Sports ground.

The intention of the Voet van Afrika Marathon is essentially to enable people to unleash their energies to determine their strengths over their own perceived limitations versus elements of nature.

We are celebrating our 41st event in 2019 and we are still the toughest race with the warmest heart.
The route environment creates a challenging event which appeals to those who want to test and develop their stamina.
