The race. The place. The feeling you take home.
If you’ve ever dreamed of running in a place that feels completely different — raw, ancient, alive — RMB Ultra-Trail Cape Town is that place.
Experience the Spirit of Africa, One Stride at a Time.
RMB Ultra-Trail Cape Town is more than a race — it’s an incredible bucket list trail race through one of the most iconic landscapes on Earth.
Ready to rewrite your runner’s story? For those outside Africa, RMB UTCT gives you a once-in-a-lifetime shot at trails carved by nature—framed by the iconic Table Mountain, where two oceans collide at the edge of a vibrant city.
Here, wilderness meets world-class competition.
You won’t just chase a finish line—you’ll collect stories, forge connections, and make memories that last a lifetime.
The landscape is untamed🌍
From steep ridgelines to winding coastal trails, every kilometer of RMB UTCT proves this is no ordinary mountain race.
Sculpted sandstone buttresses and fynbos sweep past as two oceans thunder beside you beneath the blazing African sun. Down below, Cape Town’s vibrant streets pulse with cheers while the pristine Cape Floral Kingdom bursts with endemic blooms. Here, wild and urban collide—every stride becomes a story you’ll tell forever.
The energy is different.
This is Africa.
You feel it in the grit of the earth beneath your feet—in every rock and root that tests your stride. You feel it in the rhythm of the crowd, their cheers rising like a drumbeat that carries you forward. You feel it in the wind that silences one at its peaks, leaving only the pulse of your own heart.
Runners talk about RMB UTCT not in finish times but in stories—of sunrise summits, unexpected friendships, and moments when you taste both triumph and humility.
They talk about goosebumps at the crest of a ridge, the emotional electricity that sparks when ocean spray meets mountain air, and the laughter echoing through fynbos valleys. These are the memories you can’t fake or forget.
The challenge is real 🏁.
RMB UTCT offers distances from a punchy 16K up to a true 100-mile epic adventure—and every single one commands your respect.
The African sun beats down, the climbs test your grit, and the technical trails never let you cruise.
They don’t ask where you’re from; they only reward those who show up prepared. Finish one of these courses, and you’ll carry the memory—and the pride—long after the dust has settled.
