Om die Dam Marathon
Om die Dam is the largest inland ultra-marathon in South Africa and attracts over 7 000 participants. Due to its scenic qualities (the venue is Hartbeespoort Dam) combined with its family appeal, it is consistently voted as one of the top races of the year.
Om die Dam will take place on 17 March 2012. It offers a 50km ultra marathon, a 21km half-marathon, a 10km route and a 5km fun run. Spaces are limited so please complete your entry as soon as possible.
To help with your preparation for Om die Dam Marathon, you might like to register for a customised training programme, developed by Virtual Coach, Norrie Williamson.
