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!

Wow!! Such a phenomenal achievement to even be there ready for the start line. Massive good luck wishes being sent. I look at Ben Parkes on YouTube and he's running it too. I'll look forward to his video of the event and look on in awe πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘
