Pietermaritzburg - The Comrades Marathon Association (CMA) is delighted to announce the launch of its new online system for ordering Wall of Honour plaques. This innovative platform allows Comrades Marathon enthusiasts to easily order new plaques or upgrade existing ones, celebrating their achievements and contributions to this iconic event.

 

Ordering your plaque is simple. All you need to do is go to the Comrades Marathon website at www.comrades.com and navigate to the Wall of Honour tab under the About section and complete the online form by following the prompts.




 

The new system offers several exciting features:

  • Search for existing plaques on the Wall of Honour.

Applications will close once the limit for the current phase is reached, so early submissions are encouraged. 

Please also note that applications will be closed during the holidays so keep an eye on our notice on the Wall of Honour page, which we will update periodically.
