Dates: 5-8 June 2025
The 98th Comrades Marathon on 8 June 2025 will be a Down Run, starting outside City Hall in Pietermaritzburg at 05h45 and finishing in Durban. As with previous Down Runs, the race distance will be approximately 90km and entrants will have 12 hours to cross the line to secure their finisher’s medal. It is the world’s largest and oldest ultramarathon race and remains one of the toughest road races on the planet. A highlight of the historic Comrades ultra-marathon is the Comrades Marathon Expo, which coincides with the official registration of the 2025 event. The expo takes place at the Durban Exhibition Centre from 5-7 June 2025.
