Comrades Marathon CEO Challenge

Click To Zoom

Join us for a very special CEO MARATHON CHALLENGE® competition at the 2011 Comrades Marathon in South Africa – the world’s largest and oldest ultramarathon!

Regular entry to the race closes in November, 2010, and sells out at 18,000, but CEO Challenges has reserved 20 slots for CEO Challenge competitors for the 2011 event, which will be co-hosted by non other than the greatest Comrades runner ever – 9 times winner Bruce Fordyce!

CEO Challenge competitors will gain incredible insight into this classic race over a course tour hosted by Bruce on Friday, a CEO Challenge Welcome Dinner, and in the CEO Challenge private suite at the Pietermaritzburg cricket grounds on race day.

CEO Challenges has worked with top-10 finisher Alec Riddle to anticipate the needs of each competitor, and the CEO MARATHON CHALLENGE® competition includes a course tour, meals, strategy sessions, hotel accommodations close to the start, hosting for guests of the CEOs, and all the support, advice, and guidance that will ensure each participant has the best race possible.

(Note that 2011 is an ‘up’ year, with the race starting in Durban and ending in Pietermaritzburg. The race distance is 90 km – 55.9 miles – and is run on the roads of KwaZulu-Natal Province, marked by ‘The Big Five’ set of hills)
