RUN FOR CHARITY

Missed out on a 2017 OMTOM Half Marathon entry? Or are you an athlete who loves to represent and raise money for a good cause? Every year, a limited number of OMTOM Half Marathon entries are sold to charities that successfully applied to become one of our Charity Partners. They, in turn, use the OMTOM Half Marathon as a fundraising platform. A host of great causes benefit from this annual initiative.
Charity entries are currently open, and can be secured until 27 February 2017. CLICK HERE to check which Charities still have entries available.


 

RUNNERS' VILLAGE

Every year, financial constraints prevent many talented athletes from disadvantaged communities from participating in the Old Mutual Two Oceans Marathon. In an effort to give these athletes the opportunity to be a part of the world's most beautiful marathon, the Two Oceans Marathon NPC invites running clubs to assist their less privileged members to apply and be part of the Runners' Village this coming Easter Weekend, where they receive meals, accommodation and transport. CLICK HERE for more information, the criteria, and to download a Runners' Village Application Form.
