The Two Oceans Marathon (TOM) team expressed their condolences on social media on Saturday evening after one of its participants passed away after the race earlier today.
The annual event is taking place this weekend, with the Ultra Marathon having been completed this morning and the Half Marathon set to kick-off at 6:15am on Sunday.
‘The Two Oceans Marathon team wishes to share our sincere condolences with the family of a fallen fellow runner,’ said TOM.
According to the event organisers, the runner finished the marathon and then ‘felt unwell’ after.
‘He was then transported by private ambulance to hospital where he sadly passed away,’ the team added.
TOM said this year’s race saw the late runner finishing his 12th Ultra Marathon.
This is a developing story.
