The Two Oceans Marathon is one of the world's most scenic marathons, starting at the Constantia Nek on the slopes of Table Mountain and descending to Cape Town's waterfront, with stunning views of both the Atlantic and Indian Oceans. The course traverses the Cape Peninsula, passing through iconic coastal neighborhoods including Camps Bay and Clifton, offering runners a dramatic landscape of mountain passes and oceanside vistas throughout the race.
Autumn in Cape Town typically features mild, pleasant weather with occasional Atlantic winds. Runners can expect cool temperatures at the higher elevations with gradual warming as the course descends toward sea level.
Cape Town
Founded in 1970, the Two Oceans Marathon has been a fixture of the Cape Town sporting calendar for over 5 decades. What started as a modest local race has grown into an event that draws runners from around the world to South Africa's roads.
Andries Nagana etched their name into running history by setting the course record of 02:04:30 in 2000. That time places the Two Oceans Marathon among the fastest courses in the world — a flat, fast stage where records are not just possible but expected.
With 1087m of elevation gain, the Two Oceans Marathon is not a course for the faint-hearted. The climbs are where races are won and lost — where the gap between training and undertrained reveals itself without mercy. Locals say the course doesn't beat you; it just waits for you to beat yourself.
