Rand Water Vaal River City Marathon

The Rand Water Vaal River City Marathon starts and finishes at Isak Steyl Stadium, giving runners a route through the Vaal Triangle as part of the carnival's dedicated sporting weekend. Run a day after the F1 Powerboat Race, the marathon is positioned as a signature endurance event on the Vaal Carnival calendar, drawing club and recreational runners from across Gauteng.

Rand Water's backing points to a route that likely takes in riverside sections of Sedibeng, in keeping with the carnival's river-focused theme. Whether you're running or spectating, it's a good reason to base a September weekend in the Vaal Triangle. Categories, start times and entry details are managed by the race organisers ahead of the event.
