Comrades Marathon Association (CMA) Race Director, Rowyn James said, “While more than half of the 15,000-entry cap for the 2022 Comrades Marathon was claimed in the first day of the entry process, the entry uptake has slowed down. This means that aspirant Comrades entrants who did not enter the 2020 Comrades and therefore could not secure their entry in the first entry window period (23 to 31 March 2022), will have the chance to do so in the second entry window period (20 April to 16 May 2022).”
