PARTNERS AND SPONSORS
WOVEN INTO THE COBRA’S DNA.
None of this happens without our partners, suppliers and sponsors. They fuel the race, the runners and the festival. The heartbeat. The pulse. The family — they are part of the Cape Cobra story.
THE BIG 6 - OFFICIAL PARTNERS
POWERING EVERY STRIKE OF THE COBRA.
Fearless Fuel. Clean Hydration.
Like the Cape Cobra, Revive is fearless, focused, and impossible to ignore. We went on the hunt for the perfect hydration partner — and found it right here at home. Proudly built in South Africa, Revive delivers clean salts and uncompromising hydration without the clutter. By separating the energy component, Revive gives our athletes the freedom to fuel and hydrate on their own terms, unlocking peak performance from start to finish.
BACKING PERFORMANCE. DRIVING PRIZE POWER.
SportPesa went big on the prize pool, giving our podium elites something worth chasing and setting the bar for the years to come. They also funded the SportPesa Strikes Pink campaign to raise awareness for breast cancer month. Every runner wearing their pink buff adds R100 to the pot, supporting the fight against cancer.
From mountain switchbacks to the race village, Mr D keeps the Cobra moving. Fuel, recovery, or a celebratory feast at the end of the day — they make sure athletes, crew and fans get what they need, when they need it. Quick, reliable, and proudly local, Mr D delivers more than meals. They deliver momentum.
DELIVERING WHERE IT COUNTS.
From aid stations to the finish line, Wellness powers our athletes with balance, recovery and strength. Stocking our race packs with clean nutrition, backing an elite Cobra squad and building the finish line chill zone, they ensure every runner has what they need to go harder, last longer and celebrate stronger.
Run Wild. Run Well
Official caffeine kick of the cobra
Early starts. Long climbs. Brutal switchbacks. vida e caffè fuels the fight with the coffee that keeps our runners moving and our race village buzzing. From first sip to finish line, they bring the energy, the flavour and the vibe of Cape Town’s streets straight onto the mountain.
CAPTURING THE STORY. FROM START TO GLORY.
Zlaant is the creative engine driving the Cobra story — powering our media, marketing and brand with fearless energy. Beyond the lens, they keep athletes moving stronger for longer through their strength and conditioning products and programmes on the ZlaantApp. On race day, the Zlaant Recovery Tent (powered by Revive) becomes a fortress of reset and recharge, making sure every runner can rise, recover and get back out there.
SUPPORTING SPONSORS
Behind every aid station, every race pack, every finish line cheer — our supporting sponsors keep the Cobra alive. Together with the runners, the partners and our organisers, they make up the heartbeat of this race. Without them, the Cobra wouldn’t strike the same.
THE CONSTANTIA PASSAGE
OUR 7 WINE FARM PARTNERS
Constantia is the cradle of South African winemaking. Since Simon van der Stel planted his first vines in 1685, estates like Groot Constantia, Klein Constantia, Buitenverwachting, Constantia Uitsig, Eagles Nest, Constantia Glen and Beau Constantia have woven a tapestry of heritage, innovation and natural beauty.
The original Cape Cobra route was lost to erosion and fire - our “Plan B” didn’t feel like a fallback at all. It was a breakthrough, a revelation. The seven wine farms opened their untouched terrains - their vineyards, age-old paths and hidden trails - to the journey. In doing so, they didn’t just lend land - they created a passage through time.
Today, we are the first trail run to cut through this sacred landscape - one whose paths were once trodden by wine traders and settlers, routes echoing centuries of passage under Table Mountain’s watch.
