One day left for SA early bird entries

Entry fee for South Africans competing in 2016 Comrades to increase as of 1 October.

There are just two days left before Early Bird entries for next year’s Comrades Marathon close.

Entries for the 2016 Comrades ‘down-run’ currently stand at over 8 300. The entry cap is 20 000.

The early bird entry fee of R380 is valid until 30 September 2015. CMA Race Director, Rowyn James has urged South African athletes to take advantage of the reduced entry fee before the month long early bird entry period comes to an end.

James says,

Our runners are already looking forward to the 45th ‘Comrades down-run’. We plan to make it a truly memorable experience for our runners and all other stakeholders.”

As of 1 October, the South African entry fee will increase to R420. Please visit www.comrades.com to view the rising entry barometer.

The three month-long entry process will close on 30 November 2015 or as soon as the entry cap of 20 000 has been reached. Next year’s down-run will be the 91st edition of the world’s greatest ultra-marathon on Sunday, 29 May 2016.
