BLUE NUMBER CLUB
A Blue Number is awarded to a runner that has officially completed 10 Ultra Marathons , and Blue Number Club members enjoy exclusive access to special hospitality areas at the Expo and Finish Line , where they can relax , meet up with old friends and renew acquaintances . Blue Number holders who entered the 2023 event had the opportunity to purchase access tickets to these hospitality areas for guests at the Expo BNC Lounge , but tickets are limited . ( Runners who complete 10 Half Marathons receive a Light Blue Number and enjoy the same perks .)
Runners undertaking their 10th Ultra or Half wear a Yellow Number , and upon finishing will be handed their Blue Number at the finish line . Marshals will be on hand to assist with conferring Blue Numbers .
BENEFICIARY SPOTLIGHT
Each year after the event , charitable organisations are invited to apply for funding support , thanks to the donations of big-hearted runners to the Two Oceans Marathon Initiative ( TOMI ). Submissions by charities are evaluated according to strict criteria , and both calls for applications for funding and the beneficiaries to whom funding is provided , are widely publicised on our website and on social media .
