As the excitement builds for Africa's biggest running expo, the 2025 Two Oceans Marathon Expo, it's worth your while to take a minute and familiarise yourself with all things parking, driving to and accessing the stadium.
The expo officially opened at the DHL Stadium in Cape Town on Wednesday in the run-up to the weekend races. At the expo, runners will have the opportunity to explore, pick up, and stock up on everything they need before they hit the road.
Leave early and factor in extra travel time – the expo precinct tends to be inherently busy.
Be patient. Many people live and work in this precinct.
Plan your visit: Know your route and where to park.
Ride-sharing and e-hailing is a good way to help lower traffic congestion.
Arrange mass modes of transport if you're a group of runners.
