The Comrades Marathon Association (CMA) is proud to announce the renewal of its partnership with 32Gi, a leading brand in endurance nutrition. As the official supplier of sports energy gels, anti-cramp gels, energy bars, and protein recovery nutrition for the 2025 Comrades Marathon, 32Gi will play a pivotal role in supporting runners with high-quality energy products to fuel their Ultimate Human Race.
“A key indicator of the potential success of a sponsorship is brand fit” says Richard van der Schyff, Managing Director of Flash Sponsorship, the exclusive commercial agents of the Comrades Marathon “and we have the perfect fit between the Comrades, the world’s oldest & largest ultramarathon and 32Gi who will provide fuel for the 24,000 entrants as they wind their way Down from Pietermaritzburg to Durban.”
Co-founder of 32Gi, Mark Wolff says, “32Gi, a proudly South African brand, was born out of the spirit of the Comrades Marathon 16 years ago and has since become a favourite among the Comrades running community. Our unwavering commitment to the sport of running drives us to once again join forces with the Comrades Marathon Association this year. We’re excited to elevate the athlete experience and ensure every participant crosses the finish line with a smile!”
Building on the success of last year’s partnership, 32Gi is set to enhance its offerings at #Comrades2025, providing athletes with an expanded range of product options along the iconic race route.
