CAPE TOWN MARATHON

As you well aware Cape Town is one of the top 5 destinations globally and boasts two world heritage sites and amazing natural resources from pristine coastlines to amazing wine lands. My product which I would like to introduce to you is the Cape Town Marathon which takes place every year on a Sunday close to the end of September. This race is scheduled for 22 September 2013.

The Marathon starts at 06:30 in Adderley Street, in front of the Cape Town Station in the city centre. There is also a 10km race, which starts at the same time and place, but uses (mostly) the last 10km of the marathon route.

The marathon route is fast and flat, catering for elite athletes chasing fast times and as well as beginners looking to finish their first marathon. The route showcases the mountain, the sea, and all the major attractions of Cape Town. After the start in Cape Town’s city centre the marathon route takes runners out to Rondebosch before looping back to the City via the V&A Waterfront, Sea Point the Green Point Common and finishes in Vlei Road. You will struggle to find a more beautiful setting for a city marathon.

The route offers elite athletes the chance to post a fast marathon time and the eight hour cut-off allows first timers and walkers the chance to complete the distance with no pressure. It also showcases the mountain, sea and all the major attractions Cape Town has to offer.

I have put together a 7 day tour package around the Cape Town marathon (excludes flights from respective destinations into South Africa) with 4 tours and the race included. The tours include full day Peninsula Tour, a Wine lands tour, Table Mountain and City Tour as well as a Cultural tour. We have preferred suppliers for accommodation being 3 stars, 4 star as well as 5 star hotels respectively the Park inn hotel, The Townhouse Hotel and Mount Nelson.

I think that what I have to offer has a good fit with the running community in the UK, Europe, Middle East and USA communities out there looking for an awesome start to summer and the Cape Town Marathon as such.
