The Old Mutual Two Oceans Marathon has become, with the exception of the Comrades Marathon, the most famous ultra-marathon in South Africa, a beautiful and picturesque race that is known worldwide. Thousands of runners enter this event as well as a very popular half marathon (21 km), which is also held on the same day as the ultra-marathon.

Both Powerade and Coca-Cola are proud sponsors of the Old Mutual Two Oceans Marathon and the contribution the event makes towards charity through different organisations each year, such as the 2010 beneficiary, the Bobs for Good Foundation who’s aim it is to give back dignity and pride to South Africa’s most needy learners by giving them a gift of hope – a pair of quality leather school shoes to call their own.
