Allβs well that ends well. Congratulations to our @ComradesRace Class of 2026. The joy, the grit, and the battlefield stories made it one for the books. Now, we turn our attention to 2027.
The Cape Town Marathon @CTMarathon has officially been confirmed as the eighth Abbott World Marathon Major and the very first to be hosted on African soil. It will officially join the prestigious racing series on May 23, 2027.
The race successfully passed its final multi-year evaluation process to earn this monumental status. For athletes, this marks a massive milestone as completing all the majors expands the running challenge.
The Original Six Stars: Tokyo, Boston, London, Berlin, Chicago, and New York City.
The Newest Additions: Sydney (which joined as the seventh) and now Cape Town as the eighth.
World Marathon Majors organization @WMMajors has confirmed that runners who are chasing their coveted medals can still complete the original Six Star medal program, while also opening up the opportunity to earn a new Nine Star medal once the next candidate (Shanghai) is confirmed.
To all our @FastnFurious40 members and the entire TEAM UGANDA πΊπ¬ group in Durban S.A πΏπ¦.
Good luck at the #comradesmarathon.
Fly the UGANDAN πΊπ¬ flag high and represent with pride.
We're rooting for youπͺ
