Day 4
Rise early for your transfer to the starting point of the Two Oceans Ultra Marathon, arriving in good time for your 06.30 start.
 
Be part of the fun and excitement of this truly spectacular ultra marathon, as you run the length of the beautiful Cape Peninsula which separates the warm Indian Ocean from the mighty Atlantic. Pass through dramatic mountain and coastal scenery on your route through Muizenberg, Kalk Bay and Fishhoek. Continue along famous Chapman’s Peak Drive to Hout Bay, before climbing Constantia Nek Pass to the University of Cape Town. Your driver will provide your pre- and post-race transfers, as well as any other logistical support you may require.
 
Throughout the race, friendly crowds will be lining the streets cheering you on and willing you to the finish line. This is a great race and one that you will remember for a lifetime.
 
Note: You are responsible for securing your own race entry.
Day 5
Today is free for independent sightseeing in Cape Town.
 
To orientate yourself, use your pre-paid pass for the Red Route Hop-Off Bus, which stops at all Cape Town’s key sights and attractions, including the Table Mountain (a Fast Track cable car ticket is also included). Here you can ascend and enjoy one of the world's most famous views.
 
Continue to trendy Camps Bay beach and the many attractions of the Victoria & Alfred Waterfront.
 
Note: Don't let the colour of the bus confuse you. All buses are red, but they run two different routes - the Red City Route and the Blue Kirstenbosch Route.
 
Table Mountain cable car is closed for annual maintenance from mid July to end August.
