A cold, wet Sunday is forecast for KwaZulu-Natal, which could dampen plans to watch the marathon live.
Reports indicate that parts of KZN, Pretoria and Johannesburg could be blanketed in snow thanks to the onset of another cold front.
South African Weather Service (Saws) forecaster, Wisman Dlamini, said fine weather is expected on Friday and Saturday.
Warm temperatures are expected on Saturday, becoming cool on Sunday.
"There is a cold front on Sunday afternoon leading to isolated showers over southern and western parts of KZN on Sunday afternoon, except in the northern areas where fine weather is expected," Dlamini said.
