2Ports is an original sporting concept developed by Alan Weston Straton during 2025. Inspired by the unique geography of Algoa Bay, the event bridges the historic Port of Port Elizabeth and the deepwater Port of Ngqura in Gqeberha Nelson Mandela Bay through running, cycling, and land-vs-sea competition. All creative and intellectual property regarding the 2Ports event concept remains the original work of Alan W. Straton.
