SPECIAL NOTES

Route to Finish

For family, friends and supporters making their way into Durban from out on the Comrades route to meet up with their runner please use the following recommended route so as to avoid any potential delays in the city due to the way that the runners will be entering the city prescient.

Take the N3 towards Durban and at the E B Cloete Interchange (otherwise known as Spaghetti Junction) take the N2 north towards Umhlanga/King Shaka Airport. Take the Umgeni Road (Exit 170) Interchange fly over and proceed along Umgeni Road, passing Makro on your right hand side. After 4km turn left into Smiso Nkwanyana Road and then right into Masabalala Yengwa Avenue. From here various advertised parking options will be available for you to use.

Advisory Alert

As the N3 highway from Durban into Pietermaritzburg at the Market Road Off-Ramp  area will be reduced down to one lane from 3am (to allow for fence construction as the race will be run on this section of the highway) there is definitely going to be congestion and a bottle neck effect happening here as athletes make their way to the start. We strongly recommend and warn you that in order to avoid any  unnecessary stress of getting caught in this congestion that you leave Durban 45 minutes earlier than you were originally anticipating to in order to pass through this reduced lane area on your way to the start with minimal disruption or stress.

PLEASE heed or advise on this alert and leave Durban EARLIER than originally planned. Note that the start of the race will NOT be delayed for late arrivers. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!
