The Comrades Marathon Association says it is investigating allegations of cheating during this year’s race and instances where runners allegedly submitted false qualifying times.
Race and operations manager Ann Ashworth says in a statement they have received various tip-offs form participants and spectators about instances where runners are suspected of cheating during the race.
She says the association is aware of social media posts allegedly exposing several runners of cheating on the route.
Ashworth says they are still to notify KwaZulu-Natal Athletics of the outcome of their investigations.
