A Runner from Davis, California (1/19/2001)

"It's an amazing event!" (about: 2000)

COURSE: 5 ORGANIZATION: 5 FANS: 5

My boyfriend and I picked this race as our first ultra and to celebrate 2000. I thought it would be fun to put USA and my hometown on my singlet to let other runners that may be from the US know that we were too. I was so surprised to hear tens of thousands, and I'm not exaggerating, of spectators cheering us on. 'Go Yankees!', 'Go USA!', 'Go America', 'Go Lady!'. I've never witnessed such enthusiastic and warm-hearted people as those along the course in South Africa. The countryside was beautiful, Durban is a great beach town, and Comrades is a great way to experience the South African culture.

"Great race, back runners need more water and food." (about: 2000)

COURSE: 5 ORGANIZATION: 3 FANS: 5

More water and food for back runners would be great. 24 000 was a big ask, and all in all in was quite good, but I would prefer to run the race with less runners and an 11hr cut off.
