The Comrades Marathon Association says the three-day window for entries has now been officially closed.

Earlier this week, the association re-opened the entries after a number of runners who had missed the initial entry period requested to be given a chance.This year’s down run takes place on the 11th of June, starting in Pietermaritzburg.“That was mainly due to the heightened demand and requests we received over the course of December when the first entry window closed for the December break. That was mainly from athletes who didn’t get a chance to enter in December.

Meanwhile, James added that those runners who might have missed both windows for entries can still use the substitution period next month. “If there are still some athletes who were not able to secure entry, it’s not all doom and gloom, that all is lost. We will open the substitution period on the 10th of March, and that will run for the full month to the 10th of April.
