RACE THE COMRADES LEGENDS - 14 JUNE 2020
Following the regrettable cancellation of the 2020 Comrades Marathon, we have created the virtual running event: Race the Comrades Legends.
Participants from all over the world will virtually compete, run with and compare with each other and past Legends of the Worlds Greatest Ultra Marathon.
Race the Comrades Legends 2020 will be run on Sunday, 14 June 2020 at 00:00am (12 midnight) and finish at 23:59pm on the actual race date in your time zone.
Anybody can join in on the fun. You can choose to run a distance of 5km, 10km, 21.1 km, 45km or 90km.
How it works
After registration you run the distance of your choice on Sunday, 14 June 2020 at 00:00am (12 midnight) and finish at 23:59pm on the actual race date in your time zone. When finished you simply link your fitness/activity account to your profile, and your result is updated instantly.
