Join us at the Totalsports TWO OCEANS MARATHON powered by BYD.\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\r\nThe Totalsports TWO OCEANS MARATHON powered by BYD<\/span> is widely celebrated as \u201cThe World\u2019s Most Beautiful Marathon,\u201d a title earned through the breath-taking scenery along its ultra marathon<\/a> route. It is also home to South Africa\u2019s largest half marathon, attracting thousands of participants each year.\r\n\r\nOriginally launched in 1970 it began as a modest race; the few runners lining up that year could not have imagined the extraordinary journey ahead. Today, the race sells out annually despite its expanding scale, attracting elite athletes and everyday runners alike.\r\n\r\n2027 will be the biggest Two Oceans Marathon yet, with 21,000 runners for each distance. The 21.1km Half Marathon is on Saturday 3 April 2027 and the 56km Ultra is on Sunday 4 April 2027. Runners who take on the iconic 56 km Ultra face a truly demanding yet rewarding challenge. The course includes the ascent of Chapman\u2019s Peak\u2014renowned as one of the most spectacular coastal drives in the world\u2014offering sweeping ocean views and unforgettable landscapes. This combination of natural beauty and endurance makes the race a standout experience on the global running calendar.\r\n\r\nOver the decades, it has produced legendary champions, unforgettable moments and a legacy that extends far beyond sport\u2014embedding itself deeply within the fabric of South African road running and the spirit of the nation itself. Both the 56km and 21km are tough routes, but unforgettable memories and experience are guaranteed.\r\n\r\nNB: We cannot sell entries to residents of South Africa.<\/em>","event_overview_button":"","event_feature_icons":null,"event_features":{"meals_included":{"detail":"Daily breakfast included & pasta party on Friday (when booking the package)","title":"Meals Included"},"guide":{"title":"Guide","detail":"Guidance and support from our local team.
