A look at the technical rules of Comrades

1. You must run the complete distance of 89,28km
2. You must wear BOTH Race numbers issued to you, front and back of your upper body garment.
3. Wear only ONE championchip in order to validate your finishing time.
4. Pacing is NOT allowed, i.e. although men and women are running together they are running different races. Therefore a man running with Women for a certain distance is regarded as Pacing and is NOT allowed.
5. Running with radios, videos, mobile phones, radio transmitters or any similar devices is NOT allowed.
6. No tattoo marks are allowed.
7. You can NOT wear any branded head gear except the Nedbank Comrades sponsored cap issued to you in your Goodie Bag.
8. You may NOT be carried by anyone on the Route including at the Finish.
9. Any contravention to these rules MUST be reported to the Race Referees.
10. No children are allowed on the route including in the finish area.

Contravention of any of these Rules is a Disqualifiable Offence.



Not at Comrades: dragging your beloved ones across the finish line.
