Sanlam Namibia launched the 2023 Coastal Marathon on Friday in Windhoek. The event is scheduled to take place next month.

The 2023 Coastal Marathon is scheduled for the 29th of April and will feature 4 different categories, catering from beginners up until the elite classes with 5, 10, 21 & 42.2km races.

Apart from the action on the day, competitors running in the full marathon race can also use the Sanlam Coastal Marathon as qualification for the Comrades "Down Run" marathon later this year in June.
