The 100th Comrades Marathon is a Down Run from Pietermaritzburg to Durban, finishing at a new venue in the Kings Park Rugby Stadium precinct. The entry cap rises to 28,000 runners.
Running clubs and support crews: book two or more chalets side by side, carbo-load in your own kitchen, and recover on the beach.
