Ultra-Trail Cape Town 100K (Cape Town, South Africa) 2026
Also known as: UTCT · RMB Ultra-trail Cape Town
A tour of the mountains of Table Mountain National Park in Cape Town. The technical, front-loaded course packs two big climbs into the first 50 km: Table Mountain via Platteklip Gorge, and Karbonkelberg via Suther Peak. The second half runs through the Constantia vineyards and forests back to the city.
The course tops out at 1,071 m (low point 0 m). 5 climbs of 400 m or more keep coming; the biggest is 930 m around 15–27 km. About 30% of the distance is gentle (under 5% grade). The median finish was about 21 h, through one night.
