Comrades Marathon Up Run! The 97th run of the Comrades Marathon - a footrace from Durban to Pietermaritzburg, 85.91km - The Ultimate Human Race.
I ran the 2024 Comrades Marathon and recorded highlights with my GoPro. I started in D-batch and finished the race in 10 hours, 38 minutes, and 57 seconds. This was my 15th Comrades Marathon and my best time for the Up Run, and 2nd best overall (Best = 10:28 in the 2012 Down Run). It was very good running conditions. I would have loved to run under 10 hours, but very happy that I finished strong with very little discomfort.
For my GoPro I carried 4 batteries, but only used 3. I recorded in 5.3K, 25 fps. The GoPro was mounted on an Insta360 Invisible Selfie Stick. My setup worked very well, but after about 70km of running I wished I had a camera assistant to share the load. The GoPro Hero still amaze me with the good stabilization.

Wow, that was fantastic. This will help runners who want to do the up run. It also helped us viewers to recap. You did great job Andre 😊
Well done Andre🎉 and thank you for all your videos, when the going was getting tough I just remembered your words that keep moving and target something to get to the next point, thank you very much 🙏🙏🙏
Thank you! So glad I could help a little bit.
My time was 10:40, you probably passed me on litlle or polly shortts - haha I walked both those hills. Well done Comrade 💪💪
Well done!
Very entertaining, first person perspective of comrades marathon. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Just want to say thank you 🙏🏻 your videos helped me get a sub 10 🎉 wished to have seen you on route but next year 🙏🏻
Well done with your Sub 10! Enjoy the rest. Hope to see at Comrades 2025.

one of the better comrades

You ran passed me at @8:34 in the video. I thought I heard your voice somewhere during the race! Thanks for all your tips on your channel, they helped me get my first medal!
Hoe cool is dit! Sien jy André. Your instincts about more interviews on the run is a good one. Run with it. 😊
Goeie werk Dean! André het mý verseker ook baie gehelp na my eerste medalje. Waarskynlik meer as enige ander raad wat ek gekry het.
Glad you made it onto the video. Also happy to hear that my videos helped. Congratulations with your medal. Hope to see you at Comrades 2025 for your back-2-back medal!
Well done Andre, you make it look so effortless. Your experience is proof. I've been following your videos in my prep for this year so it's great to see you along the way. I wish I could make it seem easy and video and talking, I had a tough day but still beat my previous PB.
Thank you! Glad you beat your PB. Well done. Comrades is a tough race. Was good fun recording the video. Hope to see you at Comrades 2025!
This is how it’s done! News channels should learn from you. Great coverage. Well done on your incredible finish, while filming and giving commentary.💐
Thank you. It was good fun making the video.
I agree, André's running commentary was absolutely in point.
Thank you so much for the video, I got to see areas that as a supporter I'm not able to access. Congratulations on your 15th medal, on your way to second green number 🎉
Well done and huge congratulations👏👏👏 🍾 🥂🥳
Hey. I did my debut comrades this year. Finished 9:50 with the prestigious Robert Mtshali medal. I watched all your videos. Found them very helpful. I even carried the pace plan for every 10 km section as small index cards with me. I was able to execute a perfect race plan! Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
That is fantastic. Well done!
thank you so much
Congratulation! I finished 42 seconds behind you and I am so bumped I didn't get to see you and thank you in person for all your awesome and helpful videos. THANK YOU!
Well done! Thank you for the kind words. Would have loved to meet you on the Comrades route.
I am not a runner but I just discovered your videos and really appreciate them, thank you for sharing the experience with us and congratulations you did amazing
Thank you! You should start running and then also experience the amazing Comrades Marathon!
Wow, Tumi. I really thought this type of thing would be unbearably boring to a non-runner. Maybe, that is a sign that you are not a non-runner... 😉
u contributed immensely in my journey of conquering those hills, I ate em very well, it was easy for me! despite a painful knee, everything went well! keep on posting even for other races ! your tips are on point with dt spice of humor 😅
Thank you! Glad to hear my videos help. Humor is the spice of life!
Aag! Baie baie dankie, André. Hierdie is vrek spesiaal vir my. So baie van daai mense in jou video het ek óók gesien terwyl ek gehardloop het omdat ons sulke soortgelyke tye gehardloop het. Maar ek het goeters gesien wat ek Sondag heeltemal misgekyk het. Dit laat my dink ek sou dalk al 14 ure van die dag weer kon kyk. En dit bevestig eintlik dat dit 'n meer spesiale dag was as wat ek in die oomblik besef het. Baie baie dankie!
Dankie! So bly dat mense my videos geniet. Alhoewel Comrades 'n baie lang dag is, gaan dit tog vinnig verby en mens mis baie. Lekker om weer te kan terugkyk.
Thanks for this recording, I needed to see the route again, it was my most traumatizing first Comrades Marathon - that FieldsHill, I will never forget
Hope to see you back in 2025 for the Comrades Marathon Down run!
Thanks Andre, very inspiring, and well done 👍👍
This is the best video about Comrades up. Thank you very much for this Well done Andre 👍
Thank you! My first time recording the Comrades Marathon. I have learnt a lot. Next time I will record more conversations with runners, and I will try not to record facing the sun directly!
En, vat 'n lappie saam om gereëld die lens af te vee.
Awesome video André! So wonderful to get a glimpse of your day. The vibe and encouragement throughout is beautiful to see. Thank you for sharing your experience with us.
Thank you Jennifer. Also a BIG THANK YOU for the support next to the road. Awesome to be part of the Richards Bay Athletics Club family.
Agreed!!!
Congratulations!!
thanx andre for a good video, showing us all sides of marathon, thanx very much,
Thanks for this amazing video! Such a great insight into the race. Well done 👏
Well done Andre! Great to relive the day through your eyes.
Well done and thank you so much. This brought back so many memories and helped me to feel young again. I enjoyed each moment, reliving so many memories.
Great run, Andre.
Thank you for taking us along your journey..
Inspiring! I was a novice, have really appreciated your videos in the run-up. I had a rougher day than you, aimed for a too-fast time and had to settle back. But I finished (11h36m)! I loved the glorious weather, and what a crowd!
Well done! Glad you had enough in the tank to make it to the finish line! The crowd support was amazing all the way
Amazing video, I have done 5 and this sparked some great memories and tears, well done fellow comrade
Thank you! You should go and do at least 5 more so that you can earn your Green Number! Hope to see you on the road at Comrades 2025.
Super well done. Thanks for the journey
Ill try to be there in 2030/2031
As soon as you turn 20 years old you can run the Comrades Marathon. I hope in 2030/2031 I can still run... Would love to do at least 1 with you.
Well done. You and I were criss crossing each other I'm in your video 3 times Dolphins shirt on. It's ironic I was watching your Comrades tips video just before Comrades
Small world!
I’m so fat so won’t be able to ever do a marathon 😩thanks for taking us also on the journey. Love the gees
Hi. You should start an easy fitness program. Something like walking 1km or 2km twice per week. Then you build up slowly. Soon you will be able to run the 5km Park Run on Saturdays. Then you level up to 10km, 21.1 and a full marathon. And then you continue towards a Comrades medal!
