Comrades Marathon
The world's biggest and oldest ultramarathon — ~89km between Pietermaritzburg and Durban, KwaZulu-Natal, alternating Up and Down runs yearly. 2027 is the 100th edition, an 89km Down Run (PMB → Durban), Sun 13 June. Strict ~12hr gun-to-gun cutoff, the 'Big Five' hills, and quad-punishing descents. An ultra, not a marathon.
