Presented by the Nedbank LVCC Running Club and proudly sponsored by Trans African Concessions (TRAC), this iconic 42.2km road race will take place on March 1 and will be set against the stunning backdrop of the Elands Valley.

The marathon is a Two Oceans Marathon qualifier and will kick off at Laerskool Oosterlijn in Emgwenya (Waterval Boven).
From there, participants will traverse the breathtaking escarpment, pass through the historic Waterval Boven Tunnel, and finish at the Sappi Skills Training Centre in Ngodwana.

The event is expected to attract an even larger field than previous years, featuring some of South Africa’s top road runners.

In addition to the full marathon, the TRACN4 Elands Marathon will also include a half marathon (21.1km) and a 10km race, ensuring a memorable experience for elite athletes and running enthusiasts alike.

The TRACN4 Elands Marathon Expo, hosted by Millys and sponsored by Astron Energy Mpumalanga North Marketer, will return on February 28 at Astron Energy Millys on the N4 Route from 11:00 to 20:00.
This pre-race event offers participating brands the opportunity to connect directly with athletes and serves as the official race number collection point. Alternatively, race numbers can also be collected at LVCC in Mbombela.
