Hi Folks
Welcome to the 2012 Comrades runners forum. Whether you are a veteran of the race, planning to take part in one of the world's great races for the first time or just interested in hearing what people have got to say...this is the place for you. We had an impressive 262 UK runners who took part in the 2011 'up' race.....2012 will be a 'down' race with entries likely to be open from September 2011
I am your UK Comrades Ambassador and happy to answer any of you questions at david.marsh @ mail.com
Best wishes
David

Hi everyone and hello again Marty!
2012 will be my first Comrades (yikes) and I must admit the prospect is pretty daunting.
Just wondered when is the best time to book flights and where to book accommodation for the down run? Do most people stay in Durban and close to the race finish?
Many thanks.
Hi Karen
Welcome to Comrades...you are in good company...2012 will be the first run for several people :0) I can see you are already in the main UK forum at http://www.runnersworld.co.uk/forum/forummessages.asp?dt=4&UTN=176898&last=1&V=8&SP=
....and there is a very useful international forum at http://forums.comrades.com/
I am lucky enough to be the UK Comrades Ambassador and no problem to answer any questions you have. We are also building a frequently asked questions section, that will be available shortly on the www.comrades.com site
Best wishes
