Western Cape and Boland Clubs − update

Following our emails to all Western Cape and Boland clubs at the end of June and beginning of July 2020, we are pleased that ninety-six per cent of all Western Cape clubs have collected their members’ apparel.

We are urgently following up with the handful of outstanding clubs who have not yet managed to do so.

Do all entrants receive buffs?

Yes, all successful #TOM2020 entrants receive buffs.

We have now taken delivery of the balance of TOM2020 buffs and will be contacting clubs who did not receive their full allocation of buffs in the first round of collection, to kindly collect these buffs.

Once again, due to COVID-19 protocols, this will be by prior appointment only.

Why do a handful of runners not appear on club lists?

There have not been very few of these instances. Where this does occur, it could be due to one of the following reasons:

• You did not indicate your club at the time of entering, in which case you are treated as a temp-licensed runner for the purposes of TOM 2020 T-shirt/buff distribution.
• You changed clubs subsequent to the cancellation, but made no update to your race profile on the TOM Entry System. Your T-shirt and/or buff is sent to the club you belonged to at the time of entering.
• You subbed out your entry successfully as an ultra marathon entrant, meaning that the entrant who took over your entry consequently receives the T-shirt.
• There are also one or two other anomalies we have become aware of.

Your club chairperson is free to raise any queries directly with us, or you can email info@twooceansmarathon.org.za
