🍏 Comrades Marathon

[Annieapple]

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 ✅

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 👏👏👏👏
