    Of the 4295 novice (first time) runners who are running the 2013 Comrades Marathon on Sunday 2 June, four are from Grahamstown.

    The Grahamstown novice Comrades runners are Colin Bennett, Philippa Seymour, Bruce Ross and Paul Schaerer.

    This years ‘Up’ run starts outside the City Hall in Durban and finishes at the Cricket Oval in Pietermaritzburg.

    Nearly 25 000 people are expected to descend on the Finish Venue while around 250 000 will once again line the route and cheer the runners.

    Along the route will be 48 fully stocked refreshment stations, containing water, fruit, energy drinks, energy bars, chocolates, biscuits and cooked potatoes. These stations will be powered by nearly 5 000 volunteers.

    A total of 100 community marshalls will assist 652 SAPS officials, Metro Police, the CMA’s  security service provider, Bhejane Security and other law enforcement officials on Race Day.

    Extensive medical, emergency, first aid and physiotherapy provisions for its thousands of participants have also been put in place.
