4550 Km's later in 2 years , delighted to have Back to Back & Bronze medals. Such an epic journey with so many local and international friends along the way. I have great admiration for the many runners that took on this relentless challenge (that persevered to qualify for this race) and made it to the finish. This UP RUN course is relentless, I way prefer the DOWN RUN, but this varies tremendously with runners. There are a million words one could use to describe the Supporters of the Ultimate Human Race.. they are incredible!

The best Marathon I've ran yet! It truly is the ultimate human race. Humility and humanity are the order of the day.

This is the most cruel and difficult, but very enjoyable and nice race. The hills are tough. The route is good and well supported. Water stations were well stocked with water and energade sports drink. Some stations had more things. Reaching the finish line within the 12 hours given to complete, feels so good. You forget about the pain and busk in the glory. The spectators and supporters are very nice to the runners. Well organized race overall.

Its not called the ultimate human race for nothing.

This race is incredibly well organised! It is massive - 20 000+ entrants. It is difficult to describe Comrades as you simply have to experience it. It will restore your faith in humanity as the camaraderie among participants and spectators is something you will not experience anywhere else in the world. It is "The Ultimate Human Race"!

There is only one distance for this race, though the exact distance does vary between 86 KM - 91 KM due to roadworks on the route, changes in finish venue, etc. There is not a standard distance for this race. The official race distance for the year is announced a few months before the race date each year.
