Some #ComradesMarathon2023 statistics for all those of you with withdrawal symptoms (don't worry, next year's achey legs will be back soon enough).
16126 runners set out in the cold from the Pietermaritzburg City Hall this year. Some heard Max Trimborn's crow, some didn't...
Really cool adventure running "Comrades Marathon" with @mrdowdeswell! As my dad said, the spelling is good, but the handwriting needs some work :) Thanks for the route @11Caz11 and for the seconding @jane and @ChrCherry! @MR_RunningClub
@BruceFordycerun Nothing like seeing the King on the road for a bit of motivation. Flashback to 2018 @ComradesRace seeing you at halfway, while running with @RunningRenier 😃
Great to run for an hour again after a slow build up the last couple of weeks. Enjoying connecting with my running again without the pressure @MR_RunningClub #stayhealthy
Yay. What a great surprise to win my first ultra at the Uniwisp 50k this morning. Great race. Well organised. Good down Comrades prep 👌 @MR_RunningClub @32Gi@UNIWISPSA
Today was a amazing experience! My First triathlon ticked and it was an absolute Blast! Finished 15th overall and 6th in my age cat, a competitive bunch! Managed to run the Fastest run spilt overall on the day.… https://t.co/q01rYBwaUZ
Feeling super emotional watching Eliud pushing to break the two hour barrier. Sure, it’s an ‘assisted’ environment, but regardless there’s something special about watching people dare to attempt something that seems impossible! #INEOS159
#Comrades2019 has come and gone. Congratulations and 🙏 to all those (honest) participants as well as all the race organisers, volunteers and supporters (wow, there were a lot of supporters out on 9th June!) that continue to make @ComradesRace the incredible spectacle that it is.
When the crowd says push, push, push, push, push,... all I had to do was to respond and push till the finish. The love I have for you all is the same love you all have for me. Thank you Good people.
