Comrades Marathon

Strecke & Höhenprofil

The world's oldest and most prestigious ultramarathon, alternating annually between the up and down runs between Durban and Pietermaritzburg. The down run (odd years) starts in Pietermaritzburg and finishes in Durban with net descent, while the up run (even years) reverses the route with significant climbing. The course traverses the KwaZulu-Natal landscape, passing through historic towns, rolling hills, and the dramatic Valley of a Thousand Hills.
