Durban - Entries for the first phase of the 2010 Comrades Marathon have officially closed, as the 15 000 entry limit has been achieved.
Runners who posted their entry forms by close of business on Tuesday, October 27 which have been postmarked by the Post Office will still be accepted. The CMA will release the official entry figure once these entries have been received and captured.
Comrades Marathon Association CEO, Gary Boshoff, said “I am ecstatic at the positive response from the loyal Comrades runners, in reaching the 15 000 threshold with four days to spare before October 31. This is indicative of the strength of the Comrades brand and the special place the Comrades Marathon occupies in the local as well as global sport arena.
“We are however mindful of the thousands of disappointed runners that have missed the cut off, however they can take heart from the fact that the Comrades Marathon is here to stay and that there will be many more opportunities to run The Ultimate Human Race” said Boshoff.
