By GRR 0

 

Hi there – 1 November is around the corner, and that only means one thing: the 2017 Old Mutual Two Oceans Half Marathon Ballot Application Process will kick off very soon. Please remember to read all about this brand new process or download our handy infographic or important dates and deadlines.

REMEMBER: Blue and Yellow number holders are exempt from this process, and you will be able to enter and pay for your Half Marathon entry between 12pm on 31 October and 4pm on 10 November 2016. While you will receive an invitation email on Monday, you can also access the entry portal via the OMTOM website.

ULTRA MARATHON RUNNERS: Thanks to all our runners who have already submitted an Ultra entry. If you haven't yet secured YOUR Ultra entry, please note that there are just over 2 000 entries left, and we expect to close 2017 OMTOM Ultra entries before the end of the year. This will be a record time closure, so avoid disappointment and secure your entry today! Remember, you can enter now and submit your qualifying race results any time before 6 March 2017.

If you have missed our Ultra entry, Trail entry, or ballot application process information, please read on below. And don't forget our exciting short video, entitled OMTOM By Numbers!

See you on the road and trails!

Running regards,
The Old Mutual Two Oceans Marathon Organising Team
