Entries will be cut off at 18,000 runners, and no extensions will be entered into. We urge all runners and potential runners that wish to run in 2012 to take careful note of the entry process. We therefore urge you to enter early to avoid disappointment.
No entries will be accepted after the cut off date!
No entries will be taken in 2012!
Qualifying period for 2012 will be as follows: 29 May 2011 to 4 May 2012.
Runners who finished the 2011 Comrades Marathon can use their finishing time as a qualifier for 2012. Please note that you will still need to submit an entry form.
Runners will be able to enter before they qualify. This means while all entries will have to meet the entry criteria above, runners will still be allowed to qualify in official qualifying races up until the 4 May 2012. Upon qualification, runners simply need to submit the time and details of the qualifying race through to the CMA office. Upon receiving the qualifying information the runner’s entry will be confirmed.
Licenses for 2012
(for South African athletes only)
With the new opening and closing dates of entries for Comrades 2012, athletes will not be in possession of their 2012 licenses by the time of entry, however athletes will still have to comply with the rule that they must be licensed through an officially registered athletics club affiliated to Athletics South Africa in order to run the 2012 Comrades Marathon. As with the new qualifying criteria, you will be able to enter for Comrades 2012 before having received your 2012 license. You will however have to submit your club name and license number to the CMA by 4 May 2012. Failure to submit these details will result in your entry being rejected. Please note that the CMA will verify your license details with your club.
