Comrades Marathon Reviews Biggest Down Run

The Comrades Marathon is the oldest, largest and most iconic ultramarathon in the world, attracting tens of thousands of local runners each year, along with thousands more from all over the world. Many of them come back year after year to tackle the hilly roads between Pietermaritzburg and Durban, which are lined by tens of thousands of spectators and volunteers, cheering the runners on, and millions more tune in to the live television broadcast. This is why it is known as The Ultimate Human Race, and why many believe that the Comrades is more than just a race… it is a life-changing journey.

As the dust settles following the 98th edition of the Comrades Marathon on Sunday 8 June, the Comrades Marathon Association (CMA) is celebrating another incredible race in the rich history of this unique ultramarathon, whilst also acknowledging that there were some issues and challenges experienced on race day. These will be thoroughly investigated and covered in the post-race debrief, and actions taken to improve on these aspects for next year’s race.

The CMA stated earlier that it was treating this year’s race as a dress rehearsal for the 2027 Down Run, which will also be the 100th edition of the race, with (potentially) another record-sized field and extra celebrations as part of the event. The 2025 race, with the first ever split start in the history of the Comrades Marathon and a new street finish at People’s Park in Durban, delivered important lessons that the CMA and its Race Organising Committee (ROC) will take on board in the planning for 2026 and 2027.

In terms of what went well, the 2025 race featured a record field for the Down Run, with 18,194 official finishers (86.75%) out of 20,972 starters, and various innovative changes successfully introduced. These included the two-group split start, for safety reasons, and this worked so well that all runners were over the start line within six minutes of their starting gun being fired, vastly reducing the amount of time lost at the start by slower runners at the back end of the field. “The CMA would like to thank the runners for their co-operation and discipline at the Start in Pietermaritzburg, which not only set the scene for a great race, but also ensured the safety of all runners in the event,” says CMA General Manager Alain Dalais.

In the elite race, South African superstars Tete Dijana and Gerda Steyn emerged triumphant once again. Dijana, the winner in 2022 and 2023, crossed the line in 5:25:28, just ahead of 2024 winner Piet Wiersma (Netherlands), while Steyn added a fourth title to her already impressive record with another convincing win in 5:51:19, followed by 2022 winner Alexandra Morozova. This makes Steyn only the second woman (after eight-time winner Elena Nurgalieva) to win the race more than three times.

At the Finish, all runners’ race numbers were scanned to determine which medal they earned, and in the process 19 runners from Group 2 were flagged for having started with Group 1. After being interviewed by race officials, it was decided to penalise them with a 30-minute time penalty added to their finish times.

“Other positives that the CMA is proud of is that there were no long queues at Registration over the three days, and the registration process was seamless, with all runners receiving their goodie bags, Mr Price Sport Race T-shirt and Toyota cap. On race day, all 47 refreshment stations were well stocked, and supplied the runners with the hydration and nutrition they needed, and at the finish, all runners received their medals and finisher badges. Meanwhile, incidents of crime in and around the Finish venue were drastically reduced from previous years, as a result of an increased security presence in the Finish Precinct, but we would still like to improve on that even more,” adds Dalais.
