As excitement builds ahead of the prestigious Sanlam Cape Town Marathon, runners across South Africa are entering the final stretch of preparation. With just over three weeks remaining before thousands hit the streets for the 42.2km challenge, finding the right running shoe has become a crucial part of every athlete’s race-day strategy.
For the third consecutive year, adidas is reaffirming its support of the marathon by rewarding runners who choose to run in adidas footwear. All participants who start, run, and finish the marathon wearing adidas shoes will receive a R2,000 adidas online voucher, further motivating runners to gear up with performance-focused footwear built to go the distance.
Every runner’s journey is different. Some are chasing personal bests, while others are embracing the atmosphere and accomplishment of completing one of Africa’s premier marathons. Recognising that no two runners move the same, adidas has curated a range of innovative running shoes designed to cater to varying needs, including speed, cushioning, support, and daily comfort.
