18-thousand people run the beautiful marathon

Close to 18-thousand people are celebrating life in the 2006 Old Mutual Two Oceans Marathon. The 56-kilometre ultra marathon has attracted almost eight-thousand participants, which is a not a record field. But the 21-kilometre half marathon has broken all records and has the biggest field ever, with more than nine-thousand-600 runners taking part. The organisers of the world’s most beautiful marathon say the oldest runner in the eight-kilometre Fun Run is 102-year-old legend, Philip Rabinowitz. The oldest runner in the half marathon is 80-year-old Gert Koen. And at 76, Des Robins shows what can be done in the ultra marathon.
