Over two days, runners took on the challenge of the 42.2km full marathon and the 21.1km, 10km, and 5km events. Despite varying weather conditions, the spirit of the marathon remained strong, with participants and spectators alike showing remarkable enthusiasm and support.

As a testament to the event's success, a total of R42,222 was raised through donations, which will be distributed among three deserving beneficiaries: CHOC, I Love Boobies and Love Nuts. These organisations are dedicated to significantly impacting the fight against cancer and promoting health awareness, aligning perfectly with Intercare’s purpose of making people feel better and West Coast Athletic Club’s ongoing charitable commitment to our community.

Intercare and West Coast Athletic Club would like to thank all the participants, the public, and the residents of Blaauwberg for their unwavering support. We also thank Eden on the Bay, Table Bay Mall, the City of Cape Town, MyCity, Krispy Kreme and other role players whose contributions made this event successful.

Intercare's commitment to people-centred care, integrity, inclusivity, excellence, and innovation drives everything we do. These values are the foundation of our partnership with the West Coast Athletic Club, as we work together to make people feel better. We look forward to more years of collaboration and building on this year's success.
