The Two Oceans Ultra Marathon
Cape Town’s most prestigious race is the Two Oceans Ultra Marathon, which celebrates its 53rd anniversary in 2022. It is a 56km course that takes athletes on a spectacular route around the Cape Peninsula, and it has often been voted as the most breathtaking course in the world.
The race is run under the auspices of the IAAF, Athletics South Africa (ASA) and Western Province Athletics (WPA).
To enter, you will need to qualify for this race. You can qualify from 1st July 2021 onward to TOM 2022. All standard IAAF (ASA in South Africa) affiliated marathons, and/or races longer than 42.2km are counted as qualifying races, provided that the course is officially measured and the race is officially timed. If you are running a 42.2km as a qualifying race, you will require a sub 5:00 time. For longer races, please refer to the TOM website for these qualifying times.
