A-Z
EARPHONES
iPods, MP3 players or music devices of
any sort with earphones or headphones are
NOT allowed, as these are a safety hazard
and hinder your interaction with runners,
race officials and marshals. Running with
these items could result in disqualification.
You will be disqualified if you fail to listen to
a marshal or traffic official as a result of wearing earphones.
EXPO
The Expo will take place at the CTICC, Convention Square, 1
Lower Long Street, Cape Town, and will be open during the
following times:
• Wednesday 28 March 2018 – 10h00 to 19h00
• Thursday 29 March 2018 – 10h00 to 19h00
• Friday 30 March 2018 – 09h00 to 17h00
As the official race number collection point
for the Old Mutual Two Oceans Marathon, this
expo attracts more than 55,000 visitors over the
three days. This is the largest running-related
lifestyle expo in the Western Cape and offers
visitors all sorts of interesting stands, with
everything there is to know about road running
and related elements under one roof. Over the
years, it has become much more than just a
running expo, and now includes top sporting
brands, apparel, supplements, outdoor adventure
sports and sporting tours, to name just a few.
It is an opportunity for all sports enthusiasts to
experience the latest trends in the running and
sporting arena and to be part of the exciting
atmosphere leading up to the world’s most
beautiful marathon.
FLAGS
The carrying of national flags is permitted provided they are wrapped around the athlete’s shoulders
and do not cause an obstruction or create a safety risk. No flagpoles are permitted. Any entrant
running with a pole is subject to disqualification and ban from future Two Oceans Marathon
events. The only runners permitted to have poles for the event are the officially appointed athletes,
e.g. pacesetters and #GOGREEN ambassadors. Participants may not display any commercial
advertising or political or religious references/slogans.
