Just days after nearly 20,000 runners conquered the punishing 85.77km from Durban to Pietermaritzburg, Uganda’s Comrades Marathon story is no longer just about finish times. It is about growth. From just 12 finishers in 2023, Uganda more than doubled that number in 2024, rose to 39 finishers in 2025, and had 58 Uganda-linked runners complete the 2026 edition of the iconic ultramarathon in South Africa.
