All Systems Ready for the 98th Comrades Marathon This Sunday!

Preparations are in full swing for the 98th Comrades Marathon, happening this Sunday, June 9, 2024. The esteemed athletic event, the largest in South Africa, will see runners traverse the down-run route from Pietermaritzburg to Durban. The eThekwini Municipality is ensuring a clean, safe environment for both participants and spectators.

Comprehensive Operational Plans for the Comrades Marathon

The eThekwini Municipality has detailed its operational plans ahead of the 98th Comrades Marathon. This initiative aims to create a clean and welcoming atmosphere for participants and spectators alike.

Gugu Sisilana, a municipality spokesperson, remarked, “This plan is part of a broader city beautification initiative, coordinated across several departments, to optimize Durban’s readiness for racers.”

A key aspect of the plan includes ensuring a litter-free route from Pietermaritzburg to Durban. The Cleansing and Solid Waste Unit will be deployed to oversee cleanliness along the marathon path.

Waste Management and Environmental Considerations

As part of the efforts for the Comrades Marathon, the Cleansing and Solid Waste Unit will manage waste collection effectively. This initiative underscores the importance of maintaining the environment during major events.

Sisilana further emphasized, “Waste receptacles will be strategically placed along the route, encouraging responsible disposal by spectators to keep the area clean.” This proactive measure aims to enhance race day experiences.

The city’s focus on environmental management reflects its commitment to sustainability. Ensuring the route remains clean can greatly improve the overall atmosphere for athletes and onlookers during the marathon.


As we gear up for the much-anticipated Comrades Marathon this Sunday, all systems are confirmed to be operational. With meticulous preparations underway by the eThekwini Municipality, athletes and spectators alike can expect a well-organized and vibrant event, showcasing the spirit of camaraderie and athleticism. The down-run from Pietermaritzburg to Durban promises to be an exhilarating experience, and with a clean route and ample waste management provisions, we look forward to a memorable race day.
