Today we have with us one of the all time greats of ultra-marathon running the Comrades King, Bruce Fordyce!
Bruce has won the Comrades, a simmering aspiration for most marathoners, an incredible eight times in succession, and nine times overall. No other runner in the history of Comrades has ever achieved this feat before or since Bruce. There were runners who were contenders on the Comrades “up run” and others who were contenders on the “down run”... Bruce broke the record in both directions.
