I told everyone that I was 10 and done with #Comrades. I am a man of my word. I also always said that the ‘One in you Green Number’ rule was a scam for fools and locals. For 7 years I’ve held firm but I’m blaming my wife for making me enter #Comrades2026: runningmann.co.za/2026/06/09/fal…

@TUMI02GP @ComradesRace The thing that people do to get out of seconding! 😀 Personally, I think seconding is harder than running. My wife entered this year so I decided to come out of Comrades retirement and run as well!

Interestingly there a few young years that are ‘well over par’ like 35 (+4) and 28, 30, 33 and 50 (all +3) as well as some ‘old years’ for number of medals earned like the youngest with 6 medals being 32, 7 medals 34 and for 10 medals is almost 37. #comradesstats #Comrades2026

‘below par’. Both van Dyk’s are below par as are Vic Boston (47 finishes), Werner Kriel (35) and Hennis Espach (31). Those on par with 10 or more finishes are Wietsche van der Westhuizen (46 finishes), Stefan Ulland (27), Martin Vilakazi (17) and Johnny Jansen van Rensburg (12).

COMRADES 2026: Most Medals by Age By special request (for good reason) from Johan van Dyk, I’ve pulled tables of the youngest 2026 qualified entrants by medal earned and the most medals by age. Johan, who runs for RAC and is a professor of chemistry, is the 53-year-old with the

The Run/Walk for Life Rustenburg team really know how to do a Comrades sendoff including a torch lighting, some amazing live singing by one of their Comrades novices and two great keynote speakers (40 Comrades medals, 9 wins and 11 Golds between the two of us).

@AlastairMcA30 Yes, it's my wife's fault... She ran he Down in 2007. Got out out 2008 Up by getting pregnant. Out of the blue she tells me one morning "I've entered Comrades!". On the drive to work I figured it's easier to run Comrades that to support Comrades. And here we are! 😀
