# Road running: Organisers of the Cape Town Marathon say this year’s entrants will receive sponsored entry into next year’s race. Sunday’s race was cancelled at the 11th hour following gusts of wind that damaged structures before the start gun could go off. The marathon was aiming to gain Abbott World Marathon Majors status, to be recognised as one of the most prestigious global races. There are currently only seven marathons in the elite club: Tokyo, Boston, London, Berlin, Chicago, New York City and Sydney.
