The event was in the spotlight a couple of months ago when the City of Cape Town officially withdrew its support for the race, citing a breach of event permit conditions. They had raised concerns about safety and regulatory compliance. This was after the organizers exceeded the approved participant limit during the 2025 half marathon.

The Managing Director of Stillwater Sports, Michael Meyer says, “This is a landmark event on the global running calendar, and with the backing of the Two Oceans Marathon Board, and Totalsports, our focus will be on delivering an excellent runner experience, and importantly increasing the runner value.
