Athletes from 70 countries are streaming into KwaZulu-Natal where they will line up in Pietermaritzburg at the crack of dawn on Sunday for the start of the 95th Comrades Marathon. They will have 12 hours – from 5.30am to 5.30pm – to complete the 89.885km down-run to Durban. After months of blood, sweat and tears, the man and woman who finish in first place will each bag the sum of R260 000. Those who finish in second place will get R130 000 each. A third place win will net the tidy sum of R90 000 for each runner.

Apart from medals all those who finish in the top 10 will get money, with the finisher in 10th place pocketing a sum of R12 000.
