This year’s Comrades Marathon down run has been cancelled because of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Comrades Marathon Association (CMA) has announced.
This is the second successive year that the Comrades Marathon has been cancelled with the same thing having happened last year due to COVID-19.
This year’s race was going to be a down run – 90 kilometres – from Pietermaritzburg to Durban on Sunday, 13 June and it was going to be a Centenary Comrades Marathon. The first Comrades Marathon was held on 24 May 1921.
