The Greatest Story Ever Run
History is calling! The date for the monumental 100th Comrades Marathon is officially locked in!
Comrades Ultra Marathon is iconic and arguably the Ultimate Human Race and one of the biggest challenges to runners today. The event was first run in 1921 in honour of the fallen Comrades of World War One. Besides the years 1941-1945 (The Second World War) and during the period between 2020-2021 when the race did not take place because of the Covid Pandemic, it has taken place every year.
Runners take on the challenge to complete approximately 90kms in 12 hours or less. Whilst passing through various points along the route within the specified cut off times, failing which, they are withdrawn from the race. Runners are well looked after along the route with refreshment stations every 2 to 3km stocked with water, Coke and Thirsti Sport, as well as various edible snacks such as oranges, biscuits and chocolate. The event attracts many spectators who line the streets along the way offering moral support and refreshments as well! The race is run gun to gun and there are various medals, depending on finish time. The Comrades Marathon expected start time is 05h00 (Subject to change at the race organisers discretion).
