For 92 years, the Comrades Marathon has been one of the most iconic running races in history. Here are some of our highlights from race day.

The Most Memorable Moments of the 2017 Comrades Marathon:

1. Hailing from Bulwer near Pietermaritzburg, Bongmusa Mthembu took a magnificent win in 5:35.31. Not since 1990 (Fordyce) has a South African won the Comrades more than once. He also became the first South African to win both an ‘up’ and a ‘down’ run since Bruce Fordyce in the 80s. Another interesting fact: South Africans have won the last six races.

2. Camille Herron was the first American female athlete since 1997 to become women’s Comrades champion, in a time of 6:27.35. Herron holds a Guinness World Record for running a 2:48:51 marathon in a Spiderman costume.
