  • Ska Fela Moya: Donovan Shirley's Double Comrades in 24 Hours for Mental Health
    Most runners dream of completing one Comrades Marathon. Donovan Shirley decided to run it twice in 24 hours.

    Donovan Shirley joined East Coast Breakfast to talk about his extraordinary "Get Back Up" challenge, running the Comrades route from Pietermaritzburg to Durban before turning around and joining the official race back to Pietermaritzburg.

    Donovan shares why the 2026 Comrades theme "Ska Fela Moya" resonates so deeply with him, and how this challenge is about much more than kilometres.

    This is a powerful conversation about resilience, men's mental health, purpose, and what it means to get back up when life knocks you down. Webpage
