This year, the Cape Town Festival of Running is about more than medals and finish lines.
For the first time, the Cape of Good Hope SPCA has been named an official beneficiary of the event.
Whether you're taking on the 50km ultra, the 21.1km half marathon or joining a relay team, your race can help support animals in need.
One city. One coastline. Thousands of runners. Countless lives touched.
