The Comrades Marathon is a much longer and more difficult course than the Boston Marathon. Comrades has more cumulative elevation change than the comparatively flat Boston course (by far), and it traverses 55.9 miles through South Africa, as compared to the 26.2 miles of the Boston Marathon. In short, it is longer and harder.

The Comrades Marathon in 2011 was won by the South African runner, Elena Nurgalieva, in the women's category, while the men's race was won by another South African, Ludwick Mamabolo. This year marked Mamabolo's first victory in the ultramarathon, while Nurgalieva continued her streak of strong performances in the event. The race is known for its challenging distance and elevation changes, making these victories significant achievements.
