The air is getting crisper, the mileage is stacking up, and the energy in the Mother City is reaching a fever pitch. At Totalsports, we do not just sell gear; we live for the pulse of the pavement. That is why we are back with a bang for the Home of Running Series: 2026!
This year, we have leveled up. We are hosting a massive seven-run series in partnership with the Running Late Club to get you ready for the iconic Cape Town Marathon. This is not just about one day or one run; it is a full journey featuring the biggest brands in the world.
Seven Runs, Seven Experiences
Each event in the series gives you a chance to run with a different community and test out the latest innovation from our brand partners. Whether you are a seasoned marathoner tapering for a PB or a social runner looking for a high-vibe crew, these runs are for you.
Here is the full lineup for the 2026 series:
- Salomon (29 April): We kicked things off with the trail and road experts.
- Puma: This one was postponed due to the weather, but don’t worry. A new date is coming soon, so keep an eye on our socials.
- Saucony (06 May): Taking over the mid-series slot with their signature speed and comfort.
- HOKA (09 May): Get ready to experience that famous “fly human fly” cushioning.
- ASICS (13 May): Focusing on sound mind and sound body as we head into the final weeks.
- adidas (16 May): Join the three-stripes crew for a high-energy session.
- New Balance (20 May): The grand finale of the series before the big race weekend.
More Than Just Miles
We are celebrating the culture of running, the grind of marathon prep, and the world-class running footwear that carries us through every stride. Every run is an opportunity to chat with experts, meet fellow runners, and find the gear that fits your unique gait.
Join the Movement
At the Home of Running, we believe every runner has a story. Whether you are riding el solo or coming through with your entire crew, we want to see you there. These events are open to all clubs, crews, and individuals. No one runs alone when they are with us.
