We run when we’re scared
“We run when we’re scared, we run when we’re ecstatic, we run away from our problems and run around for a good time.” ― Christopher McDougall
“Corremos quando estamos com medo, corremos quando estamos em êxtase, fugimos de nossos problemas e corremos por um bom tempo.” – Christopher McDougall

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.

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).

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.

Mauna to Mauna Ultra 17-23 May 2020
The Grand to Grand Ultra and the Mauna to Mauna Ultra are the culmination of our vision to create world-class stage events in two of the remotest locations – the remotest place in America and the remotest place in the world.
We searched high and low for the most iconic courses possible. It was the unique opportunity to organize an event that would stretch from the Grand Canyon, one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World, to the summit of the relatively unknown but equally geologically iconic Grand Staircase, that settled the location for G2G.
After several more years of research and scouting, we decided that we had to create a race on the remotest archipelago in the world. It has everything for an amazing stage race – tough and varied terrain, beauty, the world’s tallest and largest mountains, the world’s most active volcano, and 11 of the world’s 13 climate zones. It was the creation of M2M.
We bring over 50 years of event management, business building and ultramarathon experience to bear on these unique events. We have well qualified and experienced staff who round out the management team enabling us to execute the world’s premier self-supported stage races.

Scott Jurek
Named one of the greatest runners of all time, Scott Jurek has become a living legend. He has claimed victories in nearly all of ultrarunning’s elite trail and road events including the historic 153-mile Spartathlon, the Hardrock 100, the Badwater 135-Mile Ultramarathon, and—his signature race—the Western States 100-Mile Endurance Run, which he won a record seven straight times. Scott has also taken the running world by storm with his 2015 Appalachian Trail speed record, averaging nearly 50 miles a day over 46 days—and the United States all-surface record in the 24-Hour Run with 165.7 miles: 6.5 marathons in one day.
Off the trail, Scott is a New York Times-bestselling author for his memoir, Eat & Run, has been prominently featured in countless publications, and is a star of the international bestseller, Born To Run.
More than just a champion, Scott is a true student and ambassador of the sport, known to stay at finish lines cheering until the last runner crosses. When not racing, he donates his time to many non profit organizations and is an avid volunteer in the areas of environmental conservation, fitness and health.

We organise four alpine running races. The Verbier Saint-Bernard Trail (TVSB) is comprised of the X-Alpine of approx.

The races are open to any person, male or female, born in 2000 or before for the X-Alpin31e and any person born in 2002 or older for the X-Traversée and the Verbier Marathon.

The courses include sections at high altitude where harsh and extreme conditions may be encountered (nighttime, wind, cold temperatures, rain, snow). Succeeding in this great challenge requires very good training and a high level of fitness as well as self-sufficiency.
X-Alpine is a very mountainous trail, for runners used to such terrains.
4 ITRA points are required to participate to the X-Alpine. They must have been achieved within 2 years before subscription in a maximum of 2 races. All races validated by ITRA are qualifying races. Other races can be considered on request.
When inscribing to any of the races, the runner must:

-take the responsibility to have a confirmation from a competent doctor that he/she is able and that they have no counter indication to take part to such a race
-know how to deal with difficult outdoor weather conditions due to the altitude (darkness, wind, cold, heat, fog, rain or snow) -know how to deal with physical or mental problems due to extreme tiredness, digestive problems, muscle pain, small

-realise that the organisation committee cannot guarantee absolute security during the race. And that the delay for any rescue might be up to several hours in some places.
