A R1 million Media Partnership with Independent Media means that runners and supporters of the globally iconic Two Oceans Marathon can now look forward to the best of sports and news reporting on all facets of the event. While all sister titles in the stable will cover the event, the journalistic fire power will be led by Cape Town’s best-selling morning daily newspaper, the Cape Times, and IOL.

The Cape Times has entrenched itself as the standard-bearer of reliable local and international news in the Western Cape region since 1876.

Liesl Van Der Schyff, Assistant Editor, Cape Times says, “The Cape Times and Independent Media’s partnership with the Totalsports Two Oceans Marathon has proven to be a success in the past. We hope to continue this partnership for the foreseeable future.

South Africa’s running communities is something that we need to get behind and show our support.

The public will also be able to enjoy more Totalsports Two Oceans Marathon news across social media and online channels associated with the lead and sister titles forming part of the partnership.

Top journalists at the Cape Times and IOL will cover TTOM 2023 during the build-up, on Race Days, and bring followers of the event the news as it unfolds from pre- and post-race media conferences.
