“We understand that many Comrades Marathon athletes are looking forward to getting their entry into next year’s race, especially following on the unprecedented response we experienced last year with our entire entry quota selling out within three weeks of opening,” explained for CMA Race Director, Rowyn James.
“Announcements will be made in due course as to the entry period as well as other exciting developments which are in the pipeline.”
The CMA urged residents to bear with them as they fine tune the process and ensure that the entry opening for #Comrades2019 will be well-communicated and as open and fair as possible.
