Not all runners belong to clubs

If you running comrades you need to be in a club...

What do you need to qualify for Comrades Marathon?

You will also need to be a member of a running club which also has to be in the province in which you reside.

Thats a good way of breaking it up, i battle to do one 5km under 33 min, i dont want to imagine doing 18 in a row at that pace.

It's actually exactly 40 min/5k x 18 to come in at just under the 12hour cut off, but you might end up missing it completely. Real heartbreaker.

You can actually speed walk a comrades marathon.

True. However, I tried speed walking 10km back when I was younger and fitter. It was brutal. It was worse than jogging the same distance.

So, which Springbok rugby player and war veteran also has a top ten Comrades finish running in his rugby boots and then went on to play a game of rugby the next day?
