comrades marathon

The Comrades Marathon is a South African ultramarathon run over a distance of approximately 90 km. The marathon is run between the capital of the Kwazulu-Natal Province, Pietermaritzburg, and the coastal city of Durban. The race alternates annually between the up run from Durban and the down run from Pietermaritzburg. The race was the idea of World War I veteran Vic Clapham, to commemorate the South African soldiers killed during the war. Bruce Fordyce won the race for an unprecedented eight consecutive years between 1981 and 1988; he won it for the ninth time in 1990. Alberto Salazar won the race in 1994.
