On Saturday, 4 April 2015 Jimmy Nevis will line up with 16 000 other runners to participate in the Old Mutual Two Oceans Half Marathon and he says that he almost cannot believe it.

"The Old Mutual Two Oceans started out as a joke [among friends], but here I am [a few days ahead of the race]," says Nevis.

He started exploring fitness activities a year ago but is now obsessed with any outdoor activity. "Running is more than just a hobby these days”.
