Geocache Description:


The Comrades Marathon was founded in 1921 by Vic Clapham. The co-ordinates will lead you to a bust in front of the Comrades Marathon House, the headquarters of this epic foot race.


A museum is located on the ground floor, housing the official trophies, photographic and press releases and histories of the Comrades Marathon as well as a route model and audio visual presentation. The museum is only open at the following times: Monday - Fri, 8:30 - 13:00.

The micro cache is hidden inside the museum. The curator, Mr. Mike Bath, has given permission for the cache and might give a hint or two if you really get desperate.

Log: January 22 2010 by Shaka & Shakespeare
.... Mike Bath is no longer the curator (retired last year). Instead, a young lady called Sharna (hope that's spelt correct) welcomed me. She knows about the cache and seemed much bemused as I hunted around for the cache... Enjoyed the museum and the warm reception I received...


Further info on the Comrades Marathon is available from the official web site www.comrades.com

One of the rooms is also used to treat members of the Green Number Club (10 medals or more - my number is 13016) during registration as a place to reminisce and meet up with old Comrades friends. Will you be in time to join the FTF club?
