and the banning of Russian athletes from this year’s race, Comrades Marathon coach Lindsey Parry says there is still a good field of top athletes who will compete for the laurels this year.
Elite runner David Gatebe, who set the Comrades down-run record in 2016, has withdrawn from this year’s race because the Comrades Marathon Association has halved the prize money. Parry says while Gatebe’s withdrawal is a surprise, he believes there is still a good field of top-runners. “I certainly do not consider myself the defending champion because so much had happened between then and now. I’m just here to enjoy the race. I’m really thrilled that the race is back after couple years of COVID.”
