ANTI-LITTER CAMPAIGN
TOM ’ S official policy is zero tolerance towards littering anywhere on the route , including at refreshment stations , the start and the finish . Littering is defined as the act of disposing of waste items anywhere except in a container provided for that purpose . The event ’ s waste items include paper cups , bottles , wrappers and containers , whether supplied by the organisers or brought to the race by the participants .
Littering is considered intentional when there is no litter bin in the immediate vicinity of where such items are disposed of . If you are guilty of intentional littering , you may be subject to disqualification or barring from future Two Oceans Marathon events .
BLUE NUMBER CLUB
A Blue Number is awarded to a runner who has officially completed 10 Ultra Marathons , 10 Half Marathons or 10 Trail Runs . You can also earn your Blue Number by winning three titles in a particular race , making Gerda Steyn our most famous Blue Number . Finally , your blue number can be earned by attaining a gold medal five times in any race .
Blue Number Club members enjoy exclusive access to special hospitality areas at the Finish Line , where they can relax , meet up with old friends and renew acquaintances .
