I loved the course, as I do every year! I must comment on the drummers on the route! It just gave me that extra push when I was feeling so tired. Their performance at the prize ceremony was stunning. They need to be on the route every year! Thank you! It made me proud to be from Africa!

Race is beautiful and a great challenge; I would definitely recommend it.

I would only suggest to organizers to offer food on the course and better nutrition after the race.

Maybe ask a few euros more for registration or get a solid nutrition sponsor - it would make it so much better, instead of everybody carrying their own food all the way.

Many people are not aware that roads are not flat, meaning that they have a slope on the sides, which is actually the hardest aspect of this race, and makes it horribly hard to run on declines. So be prepared for this - some training that will make your ankles stronger is good - it's an extreme feature of the race that I think adds 10+ minutes to your time.

Not many spectators but people that run with you make for a great, great race - both half and ultra.

I last ran Two Oceans in 1998. Absolutely loved this course. The run up Chapman's Peak is an event you will long remember.

Last year I started my first 2 Oceans. Despite being warned about the cats eyes, I tripped and injured myself and had to retire at the 42-KM mark. This year I completed my first 2 Oceans (I'll be back...), but I saw lots of people tripping on the same cats eyes. A friend who rode Argus told me that every cats eye was covered by a Powerade cover. Why cant you do that for Oceans?

Simply superb. Should be on everyone's must-do list.

Well organized, the best views in the world. What I liked best was that the virtual coach which prepares you for the event/time you want to do - really, really works. 19,000 runners this year (2004) so be carfull not to get sucked along with a faster pace at the start. The downhill sections are the killers... a 3h45min 42km marathon = a 5h15min Two Oceans. Watch out at the end that you have someone to meet you - parking is a nightmare as is the scrum of people all looking for one another - good planning required here...

superbbbbbbb scenery

Thanks for seeding the blue and yellow numbers at the start. You are much more organised than comrades who no longer do this. It is much appreciated and is seen by me as one of the major perks of having run 10+
