Online entries are open for the 2010 Old Mutual Two Oceans Marathon, which takes place on Easter Saturday April 3, organisers said in a statement on Wednesday.

The qualifying window is September 1, 2009 to March 3 next year. Entries will close on that day, or when 11,000 entries for each distance are reached – whichever comes first.

Participants are encouraged to enter online at www.twooceansmarathon.org.za but can also pick up entry forms from sports shops and running clubs countrywide later this month.
