Double Comrades
Comrades is South Africa's (possibly the worlds) best known road ultra. It’s a 90km (56 miles) race from Durban to Pietermaritzburg (Up run) or the other way round (down run). Although there is an up year and a down year there is nothing but hills in this race and I mean hills!


I wanted to do something slightly different - I ran both ways. On the afternoon of the 23rd May I ran the 90km to PMB - 9hrs 50 minutes (up run) had a quick massage, something to eat then set off with everyone else at 5.30am on the main event Comrades Marathon running back to Durban (down run). I did this in a time of 10hrs 40 minutes making me the first female to have completed a Double Comrades - 180km (112 miles).
