@missLove_able Yes it’s ballot, they announce when the ballot opens, usually later in the year.
You can run this particular race but it honestly does not affect your half entry for oceans.
@missLove_able If you’re planning on doing oceans half marathon (21km) NO, you don’t need a qualifier. If you want to do ultra (56km) then yes a qualifier marathon (42km) must be run. From your question, if I understand correctly, you want to do 2oceans 21km so you don’t need a qualifier
