The Comrades Marathon Association (CMA) is pleased to announce the final results of the 99th edition of the Comrades Marathon, run on Sunday 14 June, and can confirm that both men’s winner George Kusche and women’s winner Gerda Steyn have each walked away with over R2-million in prize money and incentives.

In a dramatic day of record-breaking running, line honours in the 2026 Comrades Marathon were claimed by South Africans George Kusche and Gerda Steyn on Sunday, 14 June. With the route being 85.777km long, which was 133 metres shorter than in 2024 and the shortest route distance in recorded history for the Up Run, this year’s race was expected to deliver fast times, perhaps even records, and it duly delivered.
