The Comrades Marathon was founded by Vic Clapham.
One can participate at the Comrades marathon by simply going on to the Comrades maraton website and submitting an online entry. It is as simple as that.
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.
