# Road running: The 100th edition of the Comrades Marathon in 2027 is under threat after KwaZulu-Natal Athletics warned it could block the race over a sanctioning dispute with the Comrades Marathon Association. The provincial body has reportedly issued a cease-and-desist letter, arguing the event has not been properly sanctioned. However, the Comrades Marathon Association maintains the race remains on track and says it is working to resolve the matter. The dispute has raised uncertainty over the landmark centenary event.
