By GRR 0

Hi there – Can you feel the excitement? The Old Mutual Two Oceans Marathon is only two weeks away, and some of our overseas runners are already on their way to the Mother City ahead of participating in the world's most beautiful marathon. We can't wait to welcome everyone!

ULTRA MARATHON ROUTE UPDATE

Thank you for your patience while we finalise our Ultra Marathon route. We know that you are keen to know which route the Ultra Marathon will take. We are, however, still working closely with the City of Cape Town to ascertain the extent of the damage done to the affected parts of the route and, in particular, the slopes of Chapman's Peak. We will be able to give you an update as soon as we receive the necessary information from the City.

Meanwhile, we want to remind runners using Chapman's Peak as a training route to exercise extreme caution. Please be vigilant for rock falls and hug the outer lane (closest to the sea). Only approach Chappies from Hout Bay – not going further than the top lookout – but do listen to any instructions given by personnel working in the area. If you don't yet, please follow @ChapmansPeakSA on Twitter for updates on closures and adapt your final training runs accordingly.

Need to speak to us? Please call us on 021 799 3040 or chat to us on Facebook or Twitter. You can also email us at info@twooceansmarathon.org.za for not-so-urgent matters.

Good luck with your final preparation and tapering. Stay safe and injury-free.

HALF MARATHON REFRESHMENT STATIONS

The Half Marathon refreshment stations have been confirmed, and with stations situated at least every 3km, our athletes are well catered for.

The majority of refreshment stations will serve cups of Coke, as well as, Powerade, and water in sachets. And while it won't be neccesary to drink at every water station, we encourage all runners to modify their hydration strategy according to the weather conditions on Race Day.
