Yes
But we can't watch it any more, the 97th Comrades Marathon, everything is pay TV today!

It is an event that in the past has unified people of different opinions, as was the original aim, so I don't think it should still carry the same name!

Reputed to be one of the most challenging long distance runs, here is the up route (it alternates each year between running from Durban to Pietermaritzburg as it is this year and the down run from Pietermaritzburg to Durban)

At 20 seconds in, there is a shot of the Pietermaritzburg City hall (start of the down run) and on the far right of the photo about half way up, there is a light that looks as if it is from my old office window :)
The largest red brick building in the southern hemisphere, and I think the largest pipe organ, made in England by Brindley Foster. The clock and carillon was also made her, as was the stained glass.
 
Wow - I got offered a place a few years back but sadly couldn't make the dates work. Friends who have run it say it's one of the best races out there. One day maybe.

Yes, very worth doing.

Just seen my nephew's result for today

6737 out of more than 30 000 not too bad for his first time.

Even better considering he only has one leg!!!
