Kia has announced that it has concluded a partnership agreement with the Totalsports Two Oceans Marathon.
Kia will be the ‘Official Vehicle Sponsor’ of the ultra-marathon, which takes place in Cape Town, and will supply a fleet of vehicles to provide transport to key suppliers and office staff.
“Kia is more than just a car brand; we are a ‘movement that inspires’, meaning that we are continuously moving to evoke change and inspire people to do more,” said Gary Scott, CEO of Kia South Africa. “This is why it’s so fitting that Kia is the Official Vehicle Sponsor for the 2023 Two Oceans Marathon, an ultra-marathon for people that are continuously on the move and aspiring to grow mentally and physically. These athletes live through experiences that push them to continuously discover their abilities through what many consider as ‘the world’s most beautiful marathon’.”
