ROAD RUNNING

WELCOME BACK , COMRADES !

It was a case of ‘ something old , something new ’ as the Comrades Marathon returned in 2022 , after a three-year break in proceeding due to the global COVID pandemic . The centenary celebrations of the world ’ s biggest ultra-marathon may have been a bit muted last year , but the 95th edition of the race certainly made up for that as runners celebrated the return of the Ultimate Human Race . – BY SEAN FALCONER with RIEL HAUMAN ; IMAGES BY TOBIAS GINSBERG
