Two Oceans will be celebrating the 50th anniversary of the ultra marathon this year after the first race was run in 1969.
The annual Two Oceans Marathon is just around the corner and as thousands of runners are getting ready for race day, here are a few things you need to know about the iconic run. The Cape Town race is split into two races with the ultra marathon being the main race. It has an entry limit of 13,000 people.
The ultra is 56km, begins in Newlands and ends at the University of Cape Town's rugby fields in Rondebosch after winding through Fish Hoek, over Chapman’s Peak Drive, via Hout Bay and over Constantia Nek. The 21.1km race also starts from Newlands and ends at the UCT rugby fields. The limit is 16,000 runners - and entries are possibly the hottest property in South Africa's running community. The half marathon was first included in 1998.
