One Comrades Marathon runner has amused readers with her honest breakdown of what got her through the race.
Savanna and South Africans go together like Comrades runners and questionable life decisions at kilometre 80.
The Comrades Marathon Up Run took place on Sunday, June 14, and as always, the race wasn’t just about endurance; it became a full-blown content festival for the internet.
While athletes tackled steep hills, rising heat and that familiar mid-race moment of questioning all life choices, the race delivered its usual mix of grit, humour and unforgettable moments from the road.
One runner, Bessie Gale, who goes by the name the " Red Lipstick Runner", perfectly captured the spirit of the day in a video that has been doing the rounds online.
