The 2016 Old Mutual Om Die Dam Ultra and Half Marathon is a highlight on the running calendar, one that is not to be missed! The event will take place on Saturday, 12 March 2016. The first 4,000 50km and 2,000 21km pre-entries will also receive a T-shirt.

The Hartebeespoort Dam, a stunning backdrop for this great ultra-marathon, makes it a little easier on the legs when you have such a beautiful view in front of you. It can be said that the Old Mutual Om Die Dam is one of SA's finest Ultra Marathons and with last years race being sold out, it seems the public agree, so don't miss out! Remember the Ultra Marathon (50km) and the half marathon (21km) are pre-entry only, no entries on race day.

We are proud to announce that our event has been awarded the IAU Gold Label. The IAU decided a couple of years ago to introduce the IAU Labelling at those events that qualified to ensure :

The race course is measured to conform to the IAAF regulations, and this is especially important when a World or Continental Best Performance is run. It is the only way performances can be compared.
The race is recognsied by its own National Athletics Federation, to bring ultra running closer to the National Federations.
The result is that only performances in the IAU labelled races will be recognised officially. This is not only important for possible "Best Performances"but also for the calculations of the travel grants which are distributed at the major IAU competitions (MIAUC's)
