After the great success of the 2010 Comrades Marathon which was also the 85th run, its that time of the year again to start registering for the 2011 Comrades Marathon. Unlike last year when the registrations were broken into two phases, those for previous runners, and the mad rush to grab the limited seats for Novice runners which ran out in precisely 27 hours, this years registration is expected to happen much more smoothly with both novice and previous Comrades runners being given an opportunity to register, starting Sept 1st.
To register for 2011 Comrades Marathon, go to the below Mr Price website, and click on Enter Event -> Comrades Marathon

Press Release

After the hugely successful implementation of the new early entry process for the 2010 Comrades Marathon, when over 23 000 athletes responded to the call for entries, the CMA has opted to stick with the winning formula and will open entries for the 2011 Comrades Marathon on Wednesday 1 September 2010!

There will only be one three-month window (September – November) for athletes to enter, be they former Comrades runners or Novices. Entries will be limited to a maximum total of 18 000 athletes. This means that entries will officially be closed when the maximum number of 18 000 entries are reached, e.g. if 18 000 entries are reached on 7 November 2010, entries will be closed immediately and no further entries will be accepted for the 2011 Comrades Marathon.

- Local athletes (SA Citizens) R270.00
