The Prince Mangosuthu Ultra-Marathon, one of the most anticipated events in the KwaZulu-Natal Midlands, has announced a significant increase in its prize money for the 2025 event.
This year, the prize pool has been boosted to R150,000, a R50,000 increase since the race’s inception in 2018. Previously, winners in both the male and female categories took home R100,000.

The rise in prize money highlights the growing prestige of the event, which continues to attract top athletes from across the country.
Scheduled for April 27, the event will feature a gruelling 52-kilometre race from Dundee to Nquthu.

The marathon serves not only as a premier competition, but also as a qualifier and preparation for the world-renowned ultra-distance race we all know as the Comrades Marathon.
This year’s increased prize money is set to further elevate the excitement and competitiveness of the race, drawing more participants and spectators alike
