THERE are just around 4 000 entries still available for next year’s Comrades Marathon. With over 20 000 entries already taken up in just four days, Comrades Marathon Association Race Director, Rowyn James has made a last minute plea to all aspirant runners to urgently get their entry in or face the prospect of not being part of the 48th Comrades Up Run.

The #Comrades2019 entry process was due to close on 10 December but will be shut down as soon as the cap of 25,000 entries has been reached, most probably in the next day or two.

“At this rate, we can see that all entries will be taken up before this week is over. Those athletes who are intent on running next year’s 94th edition of The Ultimate Human Race need to get their entries in quickly,” he said.

Entry fees :
South African (R 600)
Africa/ SADC countries (R1500)
Foreign Athletes-International (R3800)
