The Comrades Marathon Association has adjusted the qualifying time for the standard marathon for this year’s ultimate human race back to under 05:00.

The requirement to run a qualifying marathon was introduced in 1975, with the time set at 04:30. But in 2000, the time was adjusted to 05:00 when the finish time was extended from 11 to 12 hours to celebrate the event’s 75th anniversary, in which 23 961 runners participated. Ngcobo added that this adjustment will open the race and allow more runners to have their Comrades Marathon experience.
