Cape Town - Over 19 000 entries into next year’s Comrades Marathon have been snapped up in the first three days of the process, with more than 15 000 on Day 1 alone.
The #Comrades2019 entry process will close on December 10, 2018 or as soon as the cap of 25 000 entries has been reached.
Organisers have encouraged aspirant runners to get their entries in urgently to avoid disappointment, considering that entries sold out in three weeks for the 2018 race.
At the rate at which they are currently going this time around, all entries will be taken up before three weeks is over.
