Lace up for magic at the 2026 Two Oceans Trail Run

“After a pandemic-disrupted hiatus, the trail races returned to the bouquet of events in 2025, selling out within minutes and reigniting the enthusiasm of runners across the country. Since their debut in 2010, these iconic trail races have captured the imagination of both elite athletes and weekend adventurers alike, offering a rare opportunity to experience the beauty and challenge of Table Mountain’s trails. We can’t wait to welcome participants back for another unforgettable edition in 2026.”
Further highlighting the significance of the event, Wade Bromfield, General Manager of the Totalsports Two Oceans Marathon comments, "We’re excited to confirm the date for the 2026 Totalsports Two Oceans Marathon Trail Run. With routes that showcase breathtaking scenery and true trail running terrain, every runner will face a challenge that’s as achievable as it is exhilarating. Whatever distance you choose, a memorable adventure awaits!"
Bromfield adds: “Trail runners will enjoy the same premium perks as Ultra and Half Marathon entrants, including an exclusive event T-shirt and a limited-edition pair of TTOM-branded Versus Quarter Running Socks. With each distance limited to just 500 participants, spots are set to fill fast. Don’t miss your chance to be part of this unforgettable trail experience! Entries will open on Tuesday, 20 January 2026.”
Starting from the historic steps at the University of Cape Town, the trail runs have etched their mark on South Africa’s trail-running landscape. Runners ascend into the cool, pine-scented Newlands Forest before tackling the rugged lower slopes of Devil’s Peak. Along the way, sweeping vistas of Table Bay, Robben Island, and the Cape Peninsula reward every step.
