Comrades Marathon

"Something there is doesn't love a wall"


June 10, 21,500 registered competitors ran the 90.184 km (56 mile) Comrades Marathon. This year’s race, the 93rd, was a “down run,” meaning runners started at Pietermaritzburg’s City Hall. Most of the route follows what was once Old Main Road. 
Leaving the city, runners travel along Polly Shorts (Ashburton), through Camperdown and Cato Ridge, past what was once my home (see red print on map), along Harrison Flats, up Inchanga Hill… well, see the map for the full route that finishes at Durban’s Moses Mabhida Stadium.
