Comrades 2024: A magical day of sunshine, dreams coming true and SA being 'sweet'
They had started gathering in the Durban darkness hours before the famous rooster crow got the 97th Comrades Marathon underway at 05:30, and for the 24 000 runners that took on the Ultimate Human Race on Sunday, the next few hours were unforgettable.
It was always going to be a special day given that this was the first up-run Comrades had seen since 2019, but the perfect blue skies and an endless well of energy and support from the spectators played their part, too.
