THERE are just under two months to go until the Comrades Marathon on June 14, the 99th edition of the race.

While the runners prepare for the approximately 87km ultra-marathon between Durban and Pietermaritzburg, the Comrades Marathon Association and its Race Organising Committee (ROC) are hard at work with the planning and logistical preparation that goes into this iconic event.

“It’s hard to believe that we’re now just two months away from race day, but thanks to the dedication and hard work of the CMA staff and all the volunteers on our ROC, in conjunction with our terrific sponsors and partners, the race is coming together exactly as we planned,” said race director Sue Forge.

“We are blessed to have so many combined years of invaluable experience in our team, and it is testament to their dedication and passion for this race that runners can look forward to another great race in June.”

Forge encouraged runners who’ve qualified to ensure that their entry profiles are complete.

“In order to qualify to start the race, runners need to adhere to all the qualifying criteria, which include submitting their qualifying information, completing the compulsory medical questionnaire, and updating their entrant profile by no later than May 4,” she said.
