About Two Oceans Marathon 2027

Known to those who run it as the ultimate human race, this is a test of endurance that draws people who have spent months building up to the distance. Runners set off before dawn on a route that climbs the region's famous mountain passes, with Chapman's Peak among the toughest sections. Crowds gather along the roadside through the morning, cheering, ringing bells and handing out orange slices as the field thins out on the long climbs.

By the time finishers reach the stadium, the day has usually turned warm and the mood among those who make it is somewhere between relief and disbelief.
