Cape Town - With just one month before entries open for the Old
Mutual Two Oceans Ultra Marathon, the OMTOM team has been given the green light
to publish the results of the 2018 OMTOM Ultra Marathon, having received the
final report from the South African Institute for Drug-Free Sport
(SAIDS).
Following the mandatory testing by SAIDS, they have ratified their findings, allowing the event organisers to finalise the results.
The race took place on Easter Saturday, March 31.
This positive move comes at a most exciting time, as the Two Oceans Marathon gets ready to celebrate a major milestone in the history of the event - the 50th anniversary of the world’s most beautiful marathon.
