The World’s Most Beautiful Marathon is set to reach new heights in 2026, as the Totalsports Two Oceans Marathon powered by BYD welcomes HEINEKEN Beverages, with HEINEKEN 0.0 and HEINEKEN SILVER as lead products, as an Official Partner Sponsor in a landmark three-year partnership. This exciting collaboration promises an enhanced experience for participants and spectators alike.
“Welcoming HEINEKEN Beverages marks a significant milestone for the Totalsports Two Oceans Marathon powered by BYD,” says Chris Goldschmidt, Chairperson of the Two Oceans Marathon NPC. “This landmark three-year partnership aligns with our commitment to creating an exceptional and inclusive event experience while celebrating health, movement, and community. We are excited about the new possibilities this collaboration will bring for participants and spectators alike.”
Building on this sentiment, Wade Bromfield, General Manager of the Totalsports Two Oceans Marathon powered by BYD, added: “This partnership with HEINEKEN 0.0 and HEINEKEN Silver represents an exciting evolution for the event. Our goal is to continually enhance the event experience – whether on the road, at the finish, or in the celebratory atmosphere that follows.”
HEINEKEN Beverages expressed great excitement about joining one of the most iconic road running events in the world, highlighting how the partnership reflects the company’s commitment to wellness, teamwork, and active living.
“We’re incredibly proud to partner with the Totalsports Two Oceans Marathon powered by BYD – an event that celebrates movement, resilience and community.
