Register for the 2026 Two Oceans Marathon with a charity spot
“The Charity Entry Programme is incredibly close to our hearts,” says Michael Meyer, managing director of Stillwater Sports.
“TTOM has always been about more than just the race; it is about the people, the communities, and the shared spirit that make this event so special. By choosing a Charity Entry, runners are not only securing their place on the start line, but they are directly contributing to the upliftment of causes that have a real, lasting impact. It means a lot to us that every step they take on race day will be in support of the meaningful work being done across the country.”
Meyer adds: “We were overwhelmed by the response to the 2026 Charity Programme, receiving 69 truly deserving applications submitted within the application window. To keep the process fair and transparent, a stringent multi-phase evaluation was followed. Ultimately, 35 diverse charity partners have been selected, each doing exceptional work in their respective fields. The number of entries available per charity will differ. We strongly recommend that runners reach out to the charities as soon as possible to avoid disappointment.”
The first phase of TTOM’s 2026 charity drive - the sale of charity entries - is set to raise over R2,000,000, funds that will be put to meaningful use, positively impacting the lives of countless individuals.
To purchase a Charity Entry, runners need to contact the identified charities themselves.
