Will Addison

The Comrades Marathon is an ultramarathon of approximately 90 km (approx. 56 miles) which is run annually in the KwaZulu-Natal Province of South Africa between the cities of Durban and Pietermaritzburg. It is the world's largest and oldest ultramarathon race. The direction of the race alternates each year between the "up" run (87 km) starting from Durban and the "down" run (now 90.184 km) starting from Pietermaritzburg.

Will Addison who ran it for the first second last year will be running his third run for charity. The race takes part on the 9th June 2019. His chosen Charity this year will be for Rainbows and Smiles
