Entries for the Old Mutual Two Oceans Marathon close on March 3 and runners are reminded to enter before the deadline as no late entries will be taken.Participants can enter online at www.twooceansmarathon.org.za or pick up an entry form from any Sportsmans Warehouse and other leading sports stores countrywide. Close to 6,000 entries have already been processed for the ultra marathon which, ironically, winds along only the Atlantic Ocean. The Indian Ocean, contrary to Cape Town's favourite mythology, meets the Atlantic at Cape Agulhas.
Representatives from the race office will be taking ultra entries only at the Seeff Weskus Marathon in Langebaan and the PWC Marathon in Nelspruit on March 6 and at the Vaal Marathon in VanderBijl Park on March 7.
Only entries from runners taking part in these three events and who finish in the qualifying time will be accepted.
As entries for the half marathon are closed, those runners still wanting to run the half can only do so by substituting with another runner or bidding for an entry through the auction at www.oldmutual.co.za/twooceansmarathon.
Substitutions, upgrades and downgrades, as well as any entry changes, will only be processed from March 4 to 10.
The onus is on the individual to find someone who is not running so that a substitution can be done.
