ROAD CLOSURES
Note These
NO-GO ROADS
If you’ re a supporter who intends to be out on the route to support your runners during the Totalsports Two Oceans Ultra Marathon or Half Marathon, take note of these road closures and restrictions when making your travel plans.
14,000 runners will take to the roads of the Cape Peninsula for the Totalsports Two Oceans Marathon, and another 17,000 will hit the roads the following day in the Half Marathon. Races of that size are only possible if the roads on which they run are closed to traffic, or at the very least have dedicated lanes just for runners. Thankfully for all the TTOM runners, the City of Cape Town supports the event by allowing a number of roads to be fully closed on the TTOM routes, and these road closures are advertised not only in the media, but also through road signs placed on the affected roads during the week prior to the race, to advise motorists of the upcoming road closures.
So, if you’ re planning to head out onto the route to support your runners, or need to get from point A to point B during the race, you should read the following list of road closures carefully. Delays can be expected for the duration of both races, and we appeal to motorists to avoid using roads leading to the race route. Also, please comply with the directions given by traffic officers and marshals.
3. Detours:
• Traffic wishing to travel from or to Hout Bay via Constantia Nek will be diverted via Valley Road and Disa River Road.
• A Stop / Go system will operate on Hout Bay Main Road between Disa River Road and Constantia Nek.
4. Residents in the following areas are requested not to park along the route, and to use alternative side streets for the duration of the race:
• Main Road from Newlands to Muizenberg.

• Kommetjie Road from 17th Avenue through to the Fish Hoek Circle at Main Road.( Runners will be running towards Sun Valley facing the traffic within one lane, which will be coned off.)
