WITH the #Comrades2020 entry cap for South African athletes having been reached, the Comrades Marathon Association (CMA) has announced that it regrettably cannot accept any more local entries.
The South African entry cap of 25 000 was reached barely three days after the entry process opened.
CMA race director, Rowyn James thanked local South African athletes for making the Comrades Marathon the Ultimate Human Race, not just in South Africa but worldwide; and culminating in the epic uptake of entries for the 95th Comrades Marathon.
“We have seen an unprecedented demand for entry into the Comrades Marathon. The rapid uptake of entries by our South African athletes has been phenomenal,” he said.
The number of foreign athletes participating in #Comrades2020 will also receive a boost, as the 2 500-entry cap specific to all foreign athletes nears its peak, with the only entries still available being those that have been allocated to Comrades Tour Operators.
