WITH 13,000 entries having been taken up since the 2017 Comrades Marathon entry process opened up two months ago, just under a third of the entry tally remains available for keen ultra marathon runners.
The Comrades Marathon Association (CMA) confirmed that less than a third of the entry tally is currently available.
The 2017 Comrades entry process opened on 1 September and closes on 30 November or as soon as the 20,000 entry cap is reached. For the latest entry barometer and more information, visit www.comrades.com
CMA race director, Rowyn James said: “The third and final month of the entry process is nearly upon us. Traditionally we see a surge in entries in the last month of the entry process; and history shows us that we hit the cap before the end of November, therefore prospective entrants are encouraged to enter soonest to avoid the disappointment of missing out.”
James adds: “With the major focus on our athletes and the CMA’s Runners First Initiative, we are working with all roleplayers to ensure that the 92nd Comrades Marathon is a fantastic and memorable day for both our athletes and supporters.”
Entry fees for the 2017 Comrades Marathon are as follows:
- Local entries: R460
