The much-talked-about human race is finally here. Runners from all walks of life have converged in Durban for South Africa's biggest ultramarathon. The 2026 Comrades Marathon will follow the traditional up-run route, which starts at Durban City Hall on Dr. Pixley Ka Seme (West) Street. The 86km marathon will finish at Hollywoodbets Scottsville Racecourse in Pietermaritzburg. Bongiwe Zwane spoke to SABC's Athletics Club member Muntu Khanyile.
