The [[Botswana Cricket Association]], the governing body of cricket in Botswana, is headquartered in Gaborone. There are two Ovals where cricket is played in the city.

The [[Steinmetz Gaborone Marathon]], the second [[marathon]] in Botswana, was held for the first time on 18 April 2010. The route started at the Phakalane Golf Estate in Phakalane, north of the city, and went through Gaborone, passing the [[National Assembly of Botswana|National Assembly Building]]. The marathon, which was cancelled in 2011, has been held annually starting from 2012.<ref name=GCM>{{cite web |url=http://www.gaboronecitymarathon.com/ |title=Gaborone City Marathon |access-date=4 August 2010 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100322200348/http://www.gaboronecitymarathon.com/ |archive-date=22 March 2010 }}</ref>
