THE MARATHON OF CHOICE

Again – More 2012 Comrades entrants used this race as their qualifier than any other race.

In our continuing efforts to improve this event, the organisers have the Weekend Witness as a Media Partner and Clover handling logistics. We have also engaged the assistance of other role players to assist us in improving sponsorships and activities. With their assistance we are growing the event to include an EXPO, PASTA DINNER and FUN RUNS along with the usual fare and upgraded entertainment.

Keep an eye on this web site and the media for the arrival of each piece of good news.

A whole weekend of running and entertainment festivities.

We are, again, providing a KIDZONE for both Saturday 23rd and Sunday 24th February. Here, your family will be safely entertained whilst you run or enjoy the EXPO. No more excuses! No more feeling left out. No more running on your own in different races. Now both Mum and Dad can enjoy and achieve together and the kids will be there to share your day.

We are determined that this become one of the 'Major City Marathons'.

The Natal Carbineers are commemorating the 158th Anniversary of the formation of the Regiment and this event forms part of the celebrations.

This is the seventeenth running of this event. By popular demand, we are maintaining the unique double faced medal which will be given to all official finishers who complete either the marathon or half marathon inside the generous cut off times as well as beautiful T-shirts to ALL entrants. Additional T-shirts will be available for sale after the event.
