Comrades Marathon
Vic Clapham (16 November 1886 – 1962) was the founder of the Comrades Marathon, the world's largest ultra-marathon, of approximately 90 km held annually between Durban and Pietermaritzburg in South Africa.
As a World War I veteran, Clapham conceived the race to commemorate the South African soldiers killed during the war. It was run for the first time on 24 May 1921[1][2][3] and has been run more than 80 times since then, now with an average field of 20,000 runners.
