RMB is the title sponsor of Ultra-Trail Cape Town – Africa’s biggest trail running race set in the beautiful mountain trails of the Cape Peninsula. UTCT attracts some of the world’s best trail athletes with demanding runs that require immense grit and draw on the human conquering spirit. We are proud to be a part of this globally recognised event from a talent, environmental and developmental point of view.
About this sponsorshipRMB UTCT showcases the magnificent setting of Table Mountain National Park and the City of Cape Town. Unlike typical trail races which are confined to remote wilderness areas, UTCT offers the best of both, as the National Park is within close proximity to the city of Cape Town.
As part of our partnership with UTCT we’re excited to help grow and develop the sport while maintaining our commitment to preserving our trails for all to enjoy.

Appreciating our environment
As trail runners have an inherent appreciation for the trail and the beauty of the surroundings, RMB UTCT offers local and international runners the chance to immerse themselves in the pristine natural environment of the Cape. It also raises awareness about protecting the environment. While we are growing and developing the sport of trail running, we are also supporting Table Mountain and SANParks Honorary Rangers conservation programmes. This is to ensure that they remain accessible and available for runners, hikers, outdoor enthusiasts, and adventure lovers, to enjoy and appreciate all year round.

Unlocking trail running talent with LIV2Run
A further extension of RMB’s commitment to developing the trail running community is our partnership with LIV2Run. LIV@Run forms part of LIV Village – an NGO that supports disadvantaged communities around South Africa. RMB, together with the FirstRand Foundation are giving LIV2Run trail runners and coaches the opportunity to develop their talent by competing against the best in the trail-running world.
Local support, global reach
RMB UTCT is a unique trail running event with local and global appeal – attracting over 2 800 runners every year. RMB UTCT meanders through the Cape Peninsula to the remote southern mountains. The flagship 100 miler was added in 2022 covering trails surrounding Silvermine to Kalk Bay, Kommetjie and Simonstown.
RMB UTCT has the potential to attract much needed foreign investment in our country as an eco and sports tourist destination. We are proud to enable an event that is well-placed on the international trail running calendar, while promoting Cape Town as a perfect running and investment destination.
