Comrades Association looking at substitution system
“After the resounding success of 2010, with the second largest field in the history of the race, after the millennium race in 2000, the Comrades Marathon Association (CMA) have agreed to look at alternatives to their current system, whereby athletes who enter the race but do not qualify are able to be replaced by a substitute athlete from the same club who has qualified but not registered for the race.” Visit http://www.iol.co.za/index.php?set_id=6&click_id=197&art_id=nw20100826161247359C112814#more to read the full story.
Many runners were forced to enter before they were sure they would be able to qualify. Some entered just because they could or because they wanted to see their names on the list for “old times sake”. These took places which more dedicated or more capable runners could have filled. If the CMA does not implement a substitution system they will risk alienating those who support them every year at the race.
