The Old Mutual Two Oceans Marathon – Get ready to run as one!

Hi there
Every year, tens of thousands of runners come from across the globe to share a dream. A dream to commit to, enter, train, and ultimately participate in one of the Old Mutual Two Oceans Marathon events that form part of the ultimate weekend of running. A dream to be a part of the world's most beautiful marathon.

It doesn't matter where these runners are from, what they do, where they live or whether they run fast or slow. Work schedules, frustrations, juggling life, stressing about commitments… for one day of the year, those things don't matter. Differences are set aside, "life stuff" is briefly forgotten, and runners and the community come together to RUN AS ONE.

The OMTOM team honours your hard work and dedication by creating an affordable and inclusive event that not only fosters the camaraderie among runners, supporters and event partners, but also showcases Cape Town and South Africa as a prime destination.

OMTOM's new RUN AS ONE theme perfectly captures our vision, mission and values. If you look at the image at the top of this newsletter, you will see that runners come in all shapes and sizes, each with their own story to tell. Through RUN AS ONE, we will make the sights, smells and colours of the Mother City and the OMTOM routes come alive, while telling the stories of the people who run the world's most beautiful marathon – stories of hope, camaraderie, overcoming the odds, and enjoying the simple act of running. Share your inspirational stories with us, and watch the space! And make this message your own by adding the #RunAsOne hashtag to your social media messages!

All the best and enjoy your training,
