Also included in the men's race are Joseph Mphuthi (2:50:09) and Sandile Ngunuzza and Peter Muthubi, who passed through the first 50km (31 miles) of this year's Two Oceans 56km event in 2:53:14 and 2:53:51, respectively.

In the women's event, Lesley Train and Leanne Juul have both confirmed their participation for South Africa.
