The Comrades Marathon Association has announced that both 2009 and 2010 will be 'down runs'. As a result of the change, the CMA is offering 2009 novices the opportunity to come back in 2010 and collect a once-off 'Back-to-Back Double-Down' medal, never before offered in the race.
Next year's race is also being run earlier than usual with the date being set as Sunday, May 24, due to the start of the Confederations Cup, which is being played in South Africa, during the second week of June 2009.
Given the significance of 2010, everyone finishing the Comrades Marathon that year will be presented with a special 85th Comrades/World Cup 2010 commemorative race medal.
