I just saw that Comrades are hosting a virtual race event on 14th June, with distances from a 'couch to comrades' 5k up to the full 90k. The organisers email you a race number to print out and wear for the run, and all entrants get a real medal after the event if they complete their chosen distance on the day and upload evidence. There's no chance I will ever manage to run Comrades but I have signed up for the 10k of this spcial event as I like the concept. Anyone else signed up for this, or planning to? comrades.com
