Description
Bob de la Motte's story is one of endurance and determination, as he recounts his experiences competing in the world's oldest and most famous ultra-marathon, the Comrades Marathon. A five-time winner of the event, including three gold medals, Bob shares his fascinating insights into the marathon's defining moments, including epic duels with rival Bruce Fordyce.
Through this candid and humorous memoir, Bob explores the truth behind the rivalry, allegations of cheating and blood doping, and the hypocrisy in South African and international sport. He also reflects on his decision to join a historic journey from South Africa to Australia during apartheid-era 1987, offering a unique perspective on international politics and contemporary South African affairs.
For those interested in sports, running, or simply compelling storytelling, Bob de la Motte's "Runaway Comrade" offers an unforgettable account of his experiences and the world of ultra-marathon running.
