Ultra-trail Cape Town 2023

Ultra-trail Cape Town is excited to announce a major new chapter in the Event's history, placing the Event at the forefront of global trail running. In collaboration with SANParks and the City of Cape Town, UTCT introduces their flagship 100 miler with 7 850m of elevation in addition to four other distances. Since the inaugural Event in 2014, UTCT has grown to become a major international race, with 35% of participants coming from 55 countries and boasting one of the world’s best international athlete fields. The Event has also become synonymous with a week-long festival of running where the local community welcomes runners from across the globe to Cape Town. The 100-miler route will venture from the northern mountain range of the Mother City to the more remote southern mountains, taking in additional trails from Silvermine to Kalk Bay, Kommetjie, Simonstown and beyond.
