On Sunday 3 June, 16000 heroes lined up at the City Hall in Pietermaritzburg to start the 90KM Comrades Marathon run down to Durban. Of these people, generally only about 13000 would complete the course within the allotted 12 hours. Not everyone can complete the course as this is just the science of matters. As much as it pains, there will be some at the finish clutching that precious medal and there will be some that just won’t. You see Comrades is not like most other races, where the event stays open until everyone gets their medal.
Each year there will be a whole number of heroes who battle it out to the death. Now don’t believe me, just have a look at the video below to witness what goes on at the death of the race.
