The 53rd edition of the iconic ultra-marathon, the Totalsports Two Oceans Half Marathon, is taking place on Saturday, 15 April, with the marathon following on Sunday morning.
The Mother City will once again play host to the most scenic road race in the World – the Two Oceans Marathon, which takes place over two days this weekend. Visitors and residents are reminded of the road closures and restricted access routes.
Attracting over 20 000 local and international participants, runners will begin the scenic foot race in Newlands and head out towards Noordhoek, followed by the majestic sea view from Chapman’s Peak, before the big climb up Suikerbossie Pass and then pushing through to the finish line at UCT rugby fields.
‘We do want to remind residents that there will be traffic impacts due to the road closures for the event.’ ‘We appeal to everyone to familiarise themselves with the road closure schedule and restricted access routes for both days, and we encourage residents to come out and cheer on the runners on various points along the route. This year, we are even getting our Fire and Rescue Service involved, in a very special kind of way.’
