The air is already buzzing with anticipation! Comrades 2025 is on the horizon, and whether you’re a seasoned runner, a first-time hopeful, or simply inspired by the incredible human spirit of this iconic ultra-marathon, you have an extraordinary opportunity to make your participation even more meaningful.
This year, you can amplify the impact of every grueling kilometer, every moment of perseverance, by rallying behind Arms of Mercy NPC (AOM). Our core mission is to provide support and financial aid to children facing serious health challenges, specifically those battling cancer, rare diseases, cerebral palsy, and other special needs. In essence, AOM serves as a vital link between compassionate individuals and vulnerable children in South Africa who require critical medical care and support for life-altering conditions.
As a non-funded, non-profit organisation, AOM relies on donations and fundraising efforts to continue our impactful work.

The beauty of the Comrades spirit extends far beyond the runners on the road. You, your friends, your family, your colleagues – anyone can be a champion for Arms of Mercy! Imagine the collective power of our community channeling its energy and passion to support this vital cause.
