The 2010 Comrades Marathon will take place on Sunday 30 May and will be an up-run, starting in  Pietermaritzburg and finishing in Durban at 5.30am and will be televised live on SABC2.

Among those lining up on Sunday will be Port Alfred’s Ilze Wicks, who works in Grahamstown. Wicks will be going for her permanent number as she will be running her tenth Comrades.

The 2010 Comrades Marathon will take place on Sunday 30 May and will be an up-run, starting in  Pietermaritzburg and finishing in Durban at 5.30am and will be televised live on SABC2.

Among those lining up on Sunday will be Port Alfred’s Ilze Wicks, who works in Grahamstown. Wicks will be going for her permanent number as she will be running her tenth Comrades.

While another local runner will not be running, she says she will be as nervous as though she is. Local teacher Frith van der Merwe will be holding thumbs that her 21 year old record does not get broken.

Her down record is five hours 54 minutes 43 seconds. The Bonitas Comrades Expo will take place at the Durban Exhibition Centre (DEC), which opened yesterday and closes at 5pm on Saturday.

The expo, where over 75 000 people are expected to visit, is the place for runners to register and collect their race numbers and final instructions, as well as visiting the 115 various sport, leisure and lifestyle exhibitors.

After the hugely successful implementation of the new early entry process for the 2010 Comrades Marathon, when over 23 000 athletes responded to the call for entries, the CMA has opted to stick with the winning formula and will open entries for the 2011 Comrades Marathon on Wednesday 1 September.
