Two Oceans isn’t JUST a race weekend, it’s an opportunity to experience Cape Town like never before.

Not only can you take on one of two incredible races (or both if you’re feeling fancy - check out our story), you can see the city in its prime. Packed with keen adventurers you can join the early morning dips and endless run clubs put on to help you prep for the big event, you can join the keen culinary fans in trying some of the best spots the city has to offer AND you can relax and unwind with an afternoon on some of the beautiful beaches or an easy wander along the prom.

This is Cape Town in its element, this is YOUR opportunity to be a part of it.
