Those participants wanting to run the Two Oceans half marathon will be able to enter from 9 November 2011. This is also the date when printed entry forms for both events will be available in sports stores around the country. Up until this point, participants will only be able to enter for the 56km online. Runners will be pleased to know that 16 000 entries will be made available for next year’s half marathon – the 15th running of this special add-on to the ultra event.
The field has been increased in consultation with various role players, including the City of Cape Town’s disaster management team, medical services, University of Cape Town and the traffic authorities. The race organisers have also extended the seeding times for the various starting batches and introduced a new route for the first ten kilometres of the half marathon, which will see participants make their way to the M3, up Edinburgh Drive and back onto the old route in Constantia, which will help to alleviate the congestion experienced at the start.
