The Race

Pietermaritzburg
Established in 2009, the Nelson Mandela Marathon is now 17 years old. From its first edition in Pietermaritzburg, it has evolved into a race that reflects the character of its host region in South Africa.
The course record of 02:08:47, set by Thabo Makwana in 2019, speaks to what the Nelson Mandela Marathon offers elite athletes: a fast, honest course where serious times are achievable. The record has drawn increasingly competitive fields year after year.
With 580m of elevation gain, the Nelson Mandela Marathon is not a course for the faint-hearted. The climbs are where races are won and lost — where the gap between training and undertrained reveals itself without mercy. Locals say the course doesn't beat you; it just waits for you to beat yourself.
