by Amanda on Nov 12th, 2010

As this year winds down, athletes and sporting novices alike are stepping up their training, going into high gear in preparation for South Africa’s annual Comrades Marathon – an “up” run this year on May 29 2011.

If you haven’t yet, it’s your last chance to get those entries in (by November 30th), pull those running shoes out the back of the closet, hit the road or the gym and book the requisite post-marathon break. Don’t forget to pack a copy of KwaZulu-Natal: Adventures in Culture & Nature, a fresh and versatile guide – the ideal KZN travel companion:

Runners wishing to take part in the 86th edition of the Comrades Marathon have until the end of the month to get their entries in. Already over 13 200 people have entered.

The race organiser, the Comrades Marathon Association (CMA), believes that interest in the iconic race will continue to grow thanks to the event receiving official recognition by the Guinness World Records as the event with “the most runners in an ultra-marathon”.
