Russian Leonid
Shvetsov took the Comrades Marathon today for a second year in a row and in a record time of 5:24:48. The 83rd running of the famed South African ultra saw about 12,000 people take to the 90k course - this year being an "up" route finishing in
Pietermaritzburg with a net elevation gain of over 2,000 ft. Check out the
