The Comrades Marathon Association (CMA) has confirmed that the following road closures and alert notification which will be effective over Comrades race weekend, starting around 16h00 on Saturday 8th until 18h30 on Sunday, 9th June 2024.

CMA Race & Operations Manager, Ann Ashworth says, “Runners staying outside the Durban metro are advised to leave earlier than usual as they make their way to the start at the Durban City Hall, perhaps an hour earlier than they would normally do, as the ongoing roadworks and increased volume of traffic will definitely lead to congestion and a longer travelling time.”

Comrades supporters are advised to please make use of the more accessible spectator points located in Hillcrest, the Alverstone area (at the intersection of the R103 and Alverstone Road), Drummond, the Hammarsdale area (at the intersection of the R103 and Thousand Hills Drive), Camperdown, Lynnfield Park and Ashburton.
