RUNNERS hoping to take part in the 94th edition the Comrades Marathon Association (CMA) will have to wait a little longer. The association has announced entries for the next year’s Comrades Marathon will not be opening on 1 September, as it has in recent years.

According to the association the entry process is currently under review. This is in line with the Runners First Initiative and the feedback received from athletes.

“We understand that many Comrades Marathon athletes are looking forward to getting their entry into next year’s race, especially following on the unprecedented response we experienced last year with our entire entry quota selling out within three weeks of opening,” explained for CMA Race Director, Rowyn James.
