Dear Sir/Madam
2020 COMRADES MARATHON
TRAIN or FLIGHT TOUR 21
st Annual Train Tour
From Johannesburg to Durban 12 – 15 June 2020
JB Train Tours invite you to join the annual train tour to the 2020 Comrades marathon in KZN. This year the
race is a ‘down’ run from Pietermaritzburg to finish in Durban. Are you tired of driving, looking for
accommodation and worrying about the logistics? We’ll take you there.
When travelling with us you don’t have to worry about increasing petrol prices, tollgate fees, heavy traffic,
driving back or sitting with stiff legs in your car. It is so much easier and VERY price competitive.
Any person who is interested in going to the Comrades marathon may join this tour. I.e.: Runners, supporters,
family, friends, children and girlfriend, from anywhere.
Accommodation over the ‘Comrades weekend’ in Durban is very scarce and expensive. We were fortunate to
secure a number of rooms in an upmarket hotel in Durban.
Our company have been fortunate to be involved in this event for many years with thousands of runners and
supporters travelling with us. Become part of the ‘running train family’.
“Come and be a part of the ULTIMATE HUMAN RACE”
