One of the sporty highlights of the year in Cape Town is the Old Mutual Two Oceans Marathon in Cape Town, the most famous ultra-marathon in South Africa and one of the most beautiful races worldwide.

The 56km route takes runners for instance over Chapman's Peak, through Hout Bay and around Table Mountain, and attracts more than 20 000 people each year.

Those runners who'd like to participate in the Ultra marathon of the Old Mutual Two Oceans Marathon may enter their applications until March 20 2006. Note that ultra marathon entries will close as soon as 10 000 entries have been received. Last but not least: Runners cannot enter if they have not yet qualified.

Certainly one of the best marathons in South Africa
