SUBSTITUTION

The Comrades Marathon Association will accept substitutions for the 2020 Comrades Marathon during the window period starting on 16th March 2020 and ending on 16th April 2020. No late substitutions will be accepted.

An Admin Fee of 15% of the entry fee will be deducted by the CMA from the withdrawing athlete. The CMA will only refund all withdrawing athletes after the substitution period and only if the substitution was successful.

There will be no money or voucher exchange between athletes.

Athletes will be able to withdraw from the 2020 race from 13 December 2019 up until 16 April 2020.

Substitution entries will be issued on a 1st come 1st serve basis.

The Substitution Fee of R200 will apply over and above the normal entry fee for the athlete taking up the available entry.
