If the prospect of running a marathon through one of South Africa’s most spectacular national parks - and home to the Big Five - stirs your blood, then the Powerade Marakele Marathon is everything your heart desires, and more. In this, the third in our Iconic Marakele medal series, we celebrate the Cape Vulture, a rare and regal resident of Marakele. With over 800 breeding pairs, the cliffs of the Waterberg cradle one of the largest colonies in the world. Whether you’re chasing a Comrades or Two Oceans qualifier, a club runner seeking a unique challenge, a family looking for a fabulous fun run, or just looking to soak in the wild beauty of the Waterberg, this race delivers it all. And it’s all for a good cause as proceeds go towards conservation projects in Marakele National Park.
