The Comrades Marathon may be done and dusted, but the memorable moments from the race live on.
The 2022 edition served up some tragedy, proposals, crazy outfits and hairstyles, and a lot of unbreakable spirit.
Sports Brief looks at five amazing moments of this year’s Ultimate Human Race.
Jenna Challenor embodied the spirit of the Comrades when she finished fourth in the women’s race. Jenna looked like she was going to cruise to the gold medal, but her legs had other ideas.

Twice Jenna fell when entering the stadium and while she got back to her feet the first time, her legs wouldn’t co-operate on the second occasion. In a true show of never give up spirit, Jenna crawled over the line as her emotional family watched on.
Watching the race on TV is one thing, but being on the roadside, supporting the runners, is another. Brendan Cluley was roadside and captured amazing slow-mo footage of some of the athletes in action.
Brendan even got footage of the eventual winner, Tete Dijana, as he ran past. There’s something just more powerful about watching them run in slow motion.
Running the Comrades Marathon is no easy feat, so imagine doing it in a wheelchair. Britain’s Claudia Burrough completed her first Ultimate Human Race in a time of 8:35:41.

FootballClaudia regularly takes on endurance challenges and holds six Ultramarathon World Records in her wheelchair. Claudia admitted that she was still going to decide whether to do another one, but added that the thought of earning a back-to-back medal may be too enticing to resist.
As if running 90kms wasn’t brutal enough, athletes faced another challenge after completing the race. Videos have recently surfaced showing the stairs that runners had to climb in order to leave the stadium. Talk about brutal!
The finish of the Comrades Marathon is always something everyone is glued to their TV screens for, but the start is equally impressive. This year 15 986 runners began their run at 5:30 am from Pietermaritzburg to Durban.
Getting almost 16 000 runners going is no easy feat and those at the back of the pack only get to the starting line approximately 12 minutes after the race officially starts.

Formula 1Barry Holland is proving that running the Comrades is for everyone.
The 70-year-old athlete finished his 48th Comrades Marathon in a row in a time of 11:44:39.
Speaking after the race, Barry said that there were times he didn’t think he would make it as he was cramping very badly along the route. He also had blood and scrapes on his knee, evidence of a fall along the route.
The 2022 Comrades Marathon has proved to be a memorable one after a three-year-long hiatus.
One moment will stay long in the memory of those who were watching at the Moses Mabhida Stadium and at home.
