00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:13,080
Speaker 1: twenty twenty six Total Sports to Oceans Ultra Marathon, myself

22
00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:15,920
Speaker 1: and every other runner lining up for this weekend's race

23
00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:18,840
Speaker 1: can agree that there's just this new, refreshed energy with

24
00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:21,640
Speaker 1: SES race. I think it's got a lot to do

25
00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:24,120
Speaker 1: with the fact that still all the sports and the

26
00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:28,280
Speaker 1: team there has done already amazing, amazing work to organize

27
00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:31,840
Speaker 1: this race. It is such a much loved race and

28
00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:34,960
Speaker 1: event by so so many South Africans, whether you run

29
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:37,040
Speaker 1: it or you're out there on the route to support

30
00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:40,320
Speaker 1: it or watching it on live TV. It is such

31
00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:43,240
Speaker 1: a prestigious event and it means so much to as

32
00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:46,600
Speaker 1: as South African so to see the race being taken

33
00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:49,320
Speaker 1: care of and handled in such a professional way, I

34
00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:54,240
Speaker 1: think is only exciting, and also it gives a lot

35
00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:57,880
Speaker 1: of hope for the future of the race, because long

36
00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:01,560
Speaker 1: after I'm finished, I still want to see the race succeed,

37
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:04,440
Speaker 1: and I still want to see the rays taking place

38
00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:07,720
Speaker 1: while I'm perhaps sitting on my couch watching other people

39
00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:10,440
Speaker 1: work really hard. So it's very very exciting as a

40
00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:11,080
Speaker 1: whole that was.

41
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:13,359
Speaker 2: Had to disdain tomorrow. Of course, the turn of the

42
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:16,400
Speaker 2: half marathon. To ensure a smooth and safe start from

43
00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:19,480
Speaker 2: Newland's main road runners, we seed it into twenty three

44
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:23,040
Speaker 2: batches divided into two groups. The first batch will be

45
00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:26,480
Speaker 2: offered six fifteen tomorrow, seven hundred and seventy runners per batch,

46
00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:28,880
Speaker 2: batches two minutes apart. It's going to be a little

47
00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:30,560
Speaker 2: bit warmer for the half mouth and runners, but it's

48
00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:32,880
Speaker 2: predicted to be in the low twenties, so not too

49
00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:36,280
Speaker 2: bad and best of luck to all the athletes taking

50
00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:40,720
Speaker 2: part tomorrow. For motorists not involved with either today's ultra

51
00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:44,239
Speaker 2: or the half marathon tomorrow, there are obviously many road

52
00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:46,400
Speaker 2: closures to be aware of. You can check out their

53
00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:52,000
Speaker 2: website Two Oceansmarathon dot org dot ZA. News from Cape

54
00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:55,640
Speaker 2: Nature fire is continuing to be an issue as always

55
00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:58,480
Speaker 2: at this time of year. The fire in the Cedarburg Wilderness,

56
00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:01,480
Speaker 2: which started on the twenty second of December last year

57
00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:05,320
Speaker 2: along the eight K Pass, burnt approximately fifty three thousand

58
00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:08,440
Speaker 2: hectares of land, including areas managed by Cape Nature as

59
00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:11,840
Speaker 2: well as some adjoining private properties. The fire was eventually

60
00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:15,959
Speaker 2: successfully contained on January the fifth of this year. It's

61
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:18,639
Speaker 2: no longer active, but its impact on the landscape has

62
00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:22,880
Speaker 2: been extensive and as a result, several hiking trails, camping

63
00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:26,880
Speaker 2: areas and sites within the infectors zones will remain closed

64
00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:31,239
Speaker 2: for an extended period just to allow for safety assessments,

65
00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:36,440
Speaker 2: rehabilitation work and natural ecosystem recovery. So you asked to

66
00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:39,160
Speaker 2: just bear that in mind. The Sand Parks Cape Point

67
00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:42,520
Speaker 2: volunteers meanwhile invite you to join them on a scenic

68
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:45,680
Speaker 2: and rewarding hike through Cape of Good Hope section of

Speaker 2: shipwrecked trail ten point three kilometers but one hundred and

74
00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:04,400
Speaker 2: thirty eight meters of elevation gain. It's going to be

75
00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:07,440
Speaker 2: fairly challenging in parts, so they do require a reasonable

76
00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:13,360
Speaker 2: amount of fitness and obviously take along some decent footwear, hat,

77
00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:16,560
Speaker 2: sun protection, enough water, as well as some snacks for

78
00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:19,359
Speaker 2: rest breaks. That's why I'm gonna leave things for today.

79
00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:22,919
Speaker 2: As I said once again, it is all about the

80
00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:25,640
Speaker 2: altered marathon, so be careful. If you're motorists, look at

81
00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:27,720
Speaker 2: those road closures. I'll be back again tomorrow
