The Two Oceans Marathon is a 56 KM / 35 mile ultra-marathon held annually in Cape Town, South Afrrica on the Saturday of the Easter weekend. Claimed to be “the world’s most beautiful marathon”, the race is run against a backdrop of spectacular scenery through the Cape Penisula.
The race starts in Newlands, and follows a more or less circular route through Muizenberg, Fish Hoek, over Chapman’s Peak and Constantia Nek, and eventually finishes at the University of Cape Town campus.
Nearly 8,000 runners entered the 2007 event. A very popular half marathon(21 km) (13.1 mi) is also held on the same day as the ultramarathon. In 2007 the half marathon attracted nearly 11,000 entries, making it the biggest half marathon in South Africa. Approximately 6,000 runners also took part in various fun runs the day before the race.
The number of entrants to this event has continued to grow and this year 2009 will see the largest participant field in the half and full marathon categories. For more information on this event click this link http://www1.twooceansmarathon.org.za/home
