Bay Ultra Marathon powered by Amobia

The Bay Ultra powered by Amobia is one of only two ultra-distance races in the Eastern Cape which have prestige and participation league status and is the only one staged in Port Elizabeth. Because of its position in the road running calendar, it is a qualifying event for the Two Oceans Marathon and Comrades Marathon, and is often used by athletes to gauge their training for these internationally known events.

The 50km is a circular course starting at Pollok Beach, going through Walmer and onto Upper Seaview Road;  the route then takes runners on to Sardinia Bay Road, Victoria Drive and then back along Marine Drive where runners enjoy the scenic, pristine Eastern Cape coastline. The 21.1km is a fast, flat out-and-back route along Marine Drive.
