It’s time to start with the #Comrades2026 stats…

Entrants by region is very similar to 2025. The biggest change is a 2% drop in international entrants which I would attribute to the race selling out in record Bill Rowan time (8h45).

Letsile Tebogo wants a World Athletics Championships in Africa 🗣️

Speaking before the Shanghai Diamond League, the Olympic 200m champion talked through how impactful the World Athletics Relays were in Botswana 🇧🇼

Since first beginning in 1983, Africa has never held the World Athletics Championships 🌍

Multiple reports have suggested that Ethiopia has formally submitted a bid to host either the 2029/2031 Worlds 🇪🇹

It’s been nearly six months since the Soweto Marathon took place in Soweto, South Africa last November. But the race’s top finishers—including winners Margaret Jepchumba of Kenya and Joseph Seutloali of Lesotho—still haven’t received the prize money they are owed.

What’s Up, Comrades? 🖤💛

This is the Up Run.
A journey where you have made Every Up Count.

You have Laced up.
Geared up.
Levelled up.
Shown up.
Never Given Up.

Now it is time to go All The Way Up with Your Official 2026 Comrades Marathon Race Tee - From Dawn to Dusk you have conquered the UPs and are now ready to climb from Durban to Pietermaritzburg.

Burnt orange and deep red hues reflect the energy of a South African sunrise and sunset, while flowing lines and layered details mirror every incline, every stride, and every story carried along the route.

A detailed print that moves.
A map of belonging.
A celebration of our Rainbow Nation rising together.
