Does winning R2 million for breaking a record excite you? Hmmm if only it was that easy to win it hey.
Well if you are a seasoned marathon runner or you just want to take your chances anyway, R2-million is on offer this weekend at the Two Oceans Marathon.
The huge bonus is up for grabs to a male or female runner who break either the men's and women's records on Saturday.
Since the prize was first announced in 2014 it has not been won on race day. The money, from headline sponsor Old Mutual, has caused conflict among competitors and coaches, who say it is unattainable.
"We tell our runners not to go for the record and, to be honest, they don't want the risk. You could throw your win away by going out too hard and ending up with nothing left near the finish," Nedbank national manager Nick Bester said.
Well I will be watching the race unfold on my telly and hopefully someone can bag that money. All the best to all the athletes.
