Two Oceans Marathon announces signing of new title sponsor

Cape Town - The Two Oceans Marathon (TOM) has announced it has signed with sports apparel brand Totalsports as its new title sponsor.

Following two years of cancellations due to the Covid pandemic, the world’s most beautiful marathon – which will now be known as the Totalsports Two Oceans Marathon – will be staged over the Easter Weekend.

The 2022 running of the Ultra Marathon will be its 51st since inception, marking the start of the second 50 years of existence for the event in the Western Cape.

Said TFG CEO Anthony Thunström: “We fully appreciate the heritage of the Two Oceans Marathon and we are honoured to be the title sponsor.”

“Totalsports is a firm believer in the unifying power of running and our investment is a celebration of the enduring spirit of runners everywhere, in overcoming the challenges of the past two years. It’s great to finally see our running community excited about taking part in landmark events like Two Oceans again.”

Said William Swartbooi TOM NPC chairperson: “In building this organisation we trust those who add value, and value those whom we trust. We are confident that this partnership represents a value-add on several fronts but most importantly for our key constituents, our runners.”
