Two Oceans Marathon 2010

Event: Two Oceans Marathon 2010
Date: April 3rd

Cape Town is home to some of the most breathtaking natural beauty to be found anywhere on earth.

Many enjoy the scenery through walking and excursions, with some even taking to the skies for helicopter rides above the city.

However, there is another way to see the majesty of its mountains and the beauty of its beaches.

The Two Oceans Marathon has earned a reputation as being the most beautiful run in the world, taking participants on a route like no other and giving them the opportunity to enjoy nature in a different way.

For keen runners, it is an absolute must, but even for those whose best running days are behind them, it still has something to offer.

The 56km ultra marathon should only be tackled by those in tip-top condition, with the 21km half marathon a better option for those who want a slightly easier task.

If that still sounds like too much, there are five kilometre and 2.5km fun runs, which take runners through some of the city's most scenic locations.

Whichever distance participants choose, by the end of the day they will need to take a load off and rest, which is where the luxury Cape Town hotel the 12 Apostles comes in.

Guests do not have to lift a finger, with staff catering to their every need and making sure they are as relaxed and comfortable as possible.

With the Hibernate to Rejuvenate package, visitors are treated to a five-course dinner in the Azure restaurant, use of the Sanctuary Spa hot, cold and brine water plunges, movies and popcorn and a 40-minute head and shoulder massage, which will be just what the doctor ordered after a day spent running.
