#Comrades2023 entry process to reopen
The entry process opens this week for those who missed out on the first entry-window period last month
DUE to popular demand from runners in South Africa and the world over, the Comrades Marathon entry process will reopen for three days this week.
Athletes will be able to secure an entry in this year’s Ultimate Human Race between February 1 and 3 by entering via the Comrades Marathon website: www.comrades.com.
The entry process opens at 10:00 on Wednesday, February 1 and closes at 16:30 on Friday, February 3, unless the allocated entry tally is reached beforehand.
Comrades Marathon Association (CMA) race director Rowyn James said they had taken the decision to reopen entries due to a surge of requests from athletes who missed out during the first entry-window period last month.
WATCH: Good news for Comrades runners
“We understand that the initial entry process was open for a short period of time, with many long-standing Comrades athletes being unable to secure their spot in this year’s Ultimate Human Race.”
This limited number of entries are strictly on a first-come first-serve basis.
The 96th Comrades Marathon will be a Down Run on Sunday, June 11, starting in Pietermaritzburg at 05:30 and ending 12 hours later in Durban. This will be the 48th Comrades Down Run.
