The Balwin Sport Marathon Series launches in February 2024 with 4 races around South Africa. The first Balwin Sport sponsored marathon kicks off on 11 February 2024 with the two-lapper Jeppe Marathon, followed by the Cape Peninsula Marathon on 18 February 2024, the Phobians Pretoria Marathon on 25 February 2024 and finally, the Dolphins Coast marathon on 17 March 2024.
All the title marathons are Comrades and Two Oceans Marathon qualifiers except for the Dolphin Coast marathon, where participants can only qualify for Comrades.
