#COMRADES2020 SUBSTITUTION PROCESS

Runners who were unable to secure an entry into this year’s 95th Comrades Marathon may get a chance to be part of the great race via the Substitution Process.

The Substitution Process will open on 16 March and close on 16 April 2020. The cost of the Substitution application is R200 over and above the normal applicable entry fee.

Race Director, Rowyn James has advised that going forward, all substitution transactions will be handled exclusively through the CMA Office. An administration fee of 15% of the entry fee will be deducted by CMA from withdrawing athletes and CMA will then refund the balance of the entry fee to the withdrawing athletes. He says, “There will be no direct money or voucher exchange between athletes.”
