The Comrades Marathon is an ultramarathon of approximately 89 kilometres which is run annually in the KwaZulu-Natal province of South Africa between the cities of Durban and Pietermaritzburg. It is the world's largest and oldest ultramarathon race. It will happen this Sunday & my nephew is taking part!

So this Granny dedicated her 30 min granny run to him today… may he keep on, keeping on until the race is done βœ…
