In Snaps | Blood, sweat and tears: Runners share their Comrades joy
After months of training, early hours and ditching an actual social life in favour of hitting the road to rack up miles in preparation for the ultimate human race, 21,000 runners took to the start of the 94th edition of the Comrades Marathon.

It was an up run this year, which meant that runners had to conquer 1,800m of elevation gain.
Post-run, a host of obligatory snaps with finishing medals did the rounds. Here's just a few samples of posts that will give you the feels. And yes, we're talking blisters, can't walk, chafing vibes.
An up run will make you appreciate the down run. Thank God for all your mercies in this brutal race. A huge thanks to my family, bae and friends for all the support. You showed me massive love #ComradeMarathon2019 #Comrades2019 pic.twitter.com/ynXPOpIsax
