Comrades organisers call for help to decide centenary slogan
The competition to decide the race’s official centenary slogan is open to anyone, not just aspirant runners.
THE Comrades Marathon Association (CMA) has called on the public’s help in deciding the slogan to be used for next year’s race.
The 2027 race will be the 100th edition of The Ultimate Human Race and the 50th Down Run (the run alternates between up and down directions between Durban and Pietermaritzburg each year).
Your voice matters, explained the CMA as the deadline was set for the race’s official centenary slogan.

“Your words could inspire thousands on the road to KZN for the centenary race. 100 editions of courage, Ubuntu, and camaraderie,” the association said in a Facebook post.
The slogan for the 2026 edition of the race was Ska Fela Moya – Don’t Give Up.
