Totalsports has extended its title sponsorship of the Totalsports Two Oceans Marathon (TTOM) for a further five years, and will also sponsor the Trail Run from 2026 securing long-term backing for one of South Africa’s premier road-running events
“Totalsports’ decision to extend their Title Sponsorship for another five years is a powerful endorsement of the direction in which the Totalsports Two Oceans Marathon is heading,” said Chairperson Chris Goldschmidt, describing a partnership that has become as familiar as the sea breeze that greets runners along the coastline.
TTOM General Manager Wade Bromfield echoed that sense of renewed momentum.
“This unprecedented five-year commitment demonstrates Totalsports’ belief in the event, the team, the runners, and the sport itself… we are committed to ensuring every touchpoint provides a seamless, joyful, and unforgettable experience.”
It was the kind of promise that lands softly but carries far, like the light, confident footfall of a runner cresting Constantia Nek.
From 2026, Totalsports will also become title sponsor of the Two Oceans Marathon Trail Run, a move that expands the event’s footprint into the rugged, untamed terrain where trail runners find their heartbeat.
“We are excited… the Trail Run embodies the same spirit of adventure, community, and love for the sport that defines Totalsports,” said Totalsport’s Jonathan Stein.
The 2026 weekend will unfold across three days, the trail, ultra and half making it a festival of endurance stitched into Cape Town’s autumn glow.
Entrants across all distances will receive an exclusive race T-shirt and limited-edition Versus socks, small souvenirs of a journey far bigger than the garments themselves.
The World’s Most Beautiful Marathon now steps into its next chapter with a long, confident stride buoyed by partnership, driven by purpose, and carried forward by the thousands who chase its winding, ocean-kissed kilometres each year.
