Comrades Marathon is the world's largest and oldest ultramarathon and runs along the roads for approx 90km (56 miles) between the cities of Durban and Pietermaritzburg in South Africa alternating direction each year.

I ran it in 2023 where it was (thankfully) a "down run" and had the most amazing experience, I was truly blown away by it! It's such a special event and hopefully I've managed to capture some of its magic in this race vlog... better late than never i guess! :)
