Ultramarathon Guide

The Two Oceans Ultra Marathon and the Two Oceans Half Marathon are held under the auspices, rules and regulations of the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF), International Association of Ultrarunners (IAU), Athletics South Africa (ASA) and Western Province Athletics (WPA).
The athlete agrees to participate at their own risk and by their entry and participation fully indemnifies the organisers of the Two Oceans Marathon events, the Two Oceans Marathon NPC, Athletics South Africa, Western Province Athletics, City of Cape Town, SANParks, all official sponsors and partners, volunteer groups, medical suppliers, and any and all local authorities, from any direct or indirect loss or damage, however caused, arising from their participation in the event or related to the event, including pre-race and post-race activities.
The race organisers reserve the right to accept or reject any entry. It is the responsibility of each athlete to ensure that they are medically fit and healthy to participate in the event. The Two Oceans Marathon has the right to reject an entry on the advice of the race medical team. IAAF Rule 144.1 b states that the Medical Practitioner has the highest authority at the race. EMS also have the authority to take an athlete off the road (ASA Rule 5.6 and IAAF 144.1.b), even if the athlete refuses (as TOM is responsible for their well-being).
Medical flagging: Athletes who entered the TOM Ultra Marathon, Half Marathon or Trail Runs, and who are flagged and required to upload medical documents to the TOM online entry system, must do so by the Profile Update deadline. Athletes who fail to meet this deadline will forfeit their entry.
The Two Oceans Marathon reserves the right, in their sole discretion, to remove any participant or entrant from the event or event route should (i) their conduct or attire in any way endanger or cause a hazard to other participants, spectators and / or attendees of the event; (ii) their conduct or attire poses a medical risk to themselves. No banners or flags carried with poles are allowed. Only official pace setters will be permitted to run with poles, which will adhere to strict safety guidelines.
All entry fees are non-refundable and non-transferable under all circumstances, including, but not limited to, cancellation of the event or of the athlete’s participation, or change in the date, nature, or format of the event. The event may be cancelled or changed due to severe weather or any other factors that may be deemed to threaten the safety of athletes, staff, or volunteers.
