同志馬拉松的起因

德班舉行國際鐵人馬拉松賽

世界著名的南非鐵人國際馬拉松賽（Comrades Marathon、又名超級馬拉松賽、同志馬拉松賽）於6月16日舉行，來自全球1.2萬名長跑愛好者將參加此次體育盛世。據報導，該賽在長跑界很有名，是長跑比賽的最高境界。

每年6月16日（南非青年節當天）在德班（Durban）和彼得馬力茲堡（Pietermaritzburg）間舉行。隔年以相反方向進行，全程89公里、限時12小時，今年起跑點為德班。

據此次體育盛會的組織者Gary Boshoff稱：“來自世界各地約1800名專業長跑高手將雲集德班，由於共同的興趣與志向於同一時間在南非相聚，這是我們將此稱之為‘Comrades（同志） Marathon（馬拉松）’的真正原因。”

引人矚目的是，有一支來自豪登省的女子業餘運動員隊也將參加這項比賽，據稱這些運動員來自貧困地區，但她們有一個共同信念：打破來自海外運動員在南非鐵人國際馬拉松賽上的優勢，創造南非女子的奇蹟。

One report on 2002 Comrades marathon(chinese)

窮急想惡招　兄弟騙獎牌　哥倆“接力”馬拉松

註：轉載自福州晚報（年份應是二零零二年）

　　在今年南非舉行的“同志馬拉松賽”中，莫錯寧兄弟二人巧演“雙簧”，以“接力棒”方式跑完89．9公里的比賽路程，從而“榮獲”比賽的第九名，獲得金牌、一盎司重的純金獎品和6000蘭特（約合1000美元）的獎金。然而，好景不長，正當他們為自己天衣無縫的配合暗自慶幸之時，有心人發現了他們作弊留下的破綻。　

　“同志馬拉松”又稱“超級馬拉松”，在南非一年舉行一次。這項賽事以其超長的比賽距離而聞名，成為對參賽者意志、體魄和耐力等素質的綜合考驗，受到體育愛好者和廣大觀眾的熱烈關注。今年的比賽時間特別選在新總統就職日，就更受到關注了。　

　比賽開始后，在從南非東部城市彼得馬里茲堡到德班的比賽路線上，21歲的參賽選手瑟吉奧與小他兩歲的弟弟阿諾德精心密謀，先由哥哥跑45分鐘，然后兄弟倆在流動廁所內更換背心和跑鞋﹔接著由弟弟“接力”跑中間一段，哥哥則乘車在前方的下一個“接力點”───流動廁所內等候﹔他倆再次更換背心和跑鞋后，由哥哥跑到終點，實現躋身于比賽前十名的美夢。　

　然而，在今年的比賽中只獲得第十五名的前冠軍貝斯特對比賽結果感到非常吃驚。他舉報說，他在比賽中始終計算超過自己的人數，“莫錯寧開始階段就跑在我后面，后來也一直沒有超過我，納悶他為什么能比我提前到達終點。”由于比賽路段上只有獲許車輛才可以通行，這就意味著這次作弊很可能是“集體行為”，不排除里應外合的作弊可能。馬拉松主辦單位最初對貝斯特的舉報置若罔聞。但有關錄像和照片顯示，莫錯寧兄弟身著相同比賽號碼同時出現在不同的比賽地點，兩人的手表戴在不同的手腕上，且一人胳臂上有傷疤。　

　盡管莫氏兄弟外表酷似，且策划周密，但當看到報紙上刊登的顯示“漏洞”的照片時，他們只好如實招來，并請求南非人民“饒恕”自己的罪責，說作弊不是他兄弟倆的本意，而是為貧窮所迫。他們的律師解釋說，這一悲劇的發生有其特殊性，莫錯寧有11個兄弟，家庭十分貧窮，他已將所得的6000蘭特獎金交給了父親以救助家庭，并准備將所得的獎牌以500蘭特的價格出賣。律師還強調，莫錯寧是一名有實力的馬拉松運動員，發展前途看好，希望不要因為這一悲劇而斷送了他的前程。　

　這一丑聞震驚了南非體育界，田徑協會負責人指出，其影響是惡劣的，它剝奪了應得獎者在那一天本應享受的殊榮，影響到今年馬拉松賽獲勝者的名次排列。為了正本清源、還比賽以客觀公正的結果，莫錯寧已交還了獎牌和獎品，并被責令限期如數歸還獎金。（李新烽）

The Long Run (2000)
Starring: Armin Mueller-Stahl, Nthati Moshesh Director: Jean Stewart Rating (8 customer reviews)

One of the comment in amazon:

The province of the soul, February 18, 2004
Reviewer:

Stephen A. Haines (Ottawa, Ontario Canada) - See all my reviews In 1942, thousands of POWs were marched along the Philippines' Bataan Peninsula in the infamous "Death March". Thirst, hunger and fatigue plagued them in scorching heat. As guards watched impassively, the weaker fell by the wayside. Today, similar numbers follow the similar tracks with similar results. Only now we call it exercise. Instead of being instigated by imperial armies, supermarkets and auto rentals now act as sponsors. Instead of guards, the trekkers are goaded on by cheering spectators, only slightly less indifferent to the plight of the fallen.

The background to one of these dramas of endeavour and endurance is ably portrayed in The Long Run. In this film, the locale is South Africa, not the Philippines. Instead of steaming jungle, it's city roads and pollution. The quest, however, isn't just survival, it's winning. With exercise, winning means training, and training means coaching. Armin Mueller-Stahl plays Berry Bohmer, a brickyard employee coaching a team of runners. Encountering a young woman jogging, he sees immense promise in her. After some initial difficulties, Christine [Nthati Moshesh] accepts him as her trainer. The goal is winning the Comrades Marathon, a gruelling 90 km run across Natal Province, South Africa.

It's not a straightforward enterprise. Christine, a homeless illegal immigrant, moves in with Berry, scandalising the neighbourhood. It's hard to decide which of them is more prim in the relationship. His own situation becomes precarious when the brickyard owner wants to advance the cause of Black African management. Christine, although a natural runner, has no disciplined experience. Berry must start her at the beginning. Director Jean Stewart balances these disparate forces with finesse. From the opening scene, the tension of this race is vividly obvious. "Forget about the pain!", Berry tells his team, but you are confronted with the stress involved in this enterprise throughout the film. Whatever Moshesh's running experience in real life, she admirably demonstrates her abilities as she paces out bush roads and dodges coppers. Stewart places every scene in proper context, from distant views along rural tracks to the race's conclusion in Durban. Long distance shots of the Natal countryside impart a strong sense of the universality of distance running.

Finally, after no few tribulations, the race is run. The key point is Cowie's, a hill rising beyond a deceptive flat track. "It has killed thousands!", says Berry. Christine, determined, has her own approach. The race opens before sunrise, but "it'll get hot later today" intones the announcer. As the day begins, after the race starts, Stewart captures the easy mood of those first minutes. As time passes and the pace picks up, the full scope of the challenge is manifested. Runners are seen beside the track, crumpled with exhaustion. Christine's own support team members falter. There's nothing foregone about the conclusion - remember Cool Running?

My pace just keep as low as possible,don't to extra my pain,so,after roundabout I manage to say hello to many runners,I thought I can manage to finish the race within 2:15,but after return pass roundabout,I hit the wall due to no training,so use again sloan's,then ran slow up the flyover,the way go down,one fella jia lat,I think is because of less glukosa liao,fell down and injure both of his knee,the most worry of us who stop to help him,is because he can't answer us,JIA LAT !! Even his name also can't spoke,then I help to stop the car who kindly to stop and help,got one malay Kenara stop and later follow by one official car,Hopefully this runner will fine later.

Congrate to who did PR and enjoy this PJ Half marathon,hope u all enjoy this year pj half marathon.

八打靈再也半馬落馬記

在面對這項大馬水平最高的八打靈再也半馬，心裡頭很渴望參加，但是由於沒有訓練，加上左膝舊傷復發，一直舉棋未定，狀態欠佳去參賽必會吃盡苦頭，很可能半途落馬。

所以在受到一些好友的鼓勵下，我就決定參賽，不過心裡不再乎完走獎牌或成績，反而只要順利跑完及沒有加劇傷勢，就已很滿足啦！

但是，在開始的首五公里，我的步伐雖有點慢，卻是相當順利，一直對自己的左膝舊傷提心吊膽，過後了此處，我的惡夢終於降臨，只好放緩腳步，很多好友一個一個超車，實在夠遜的，心裡頭有點點後悔啦，哈哈！

隨後就被傑米超車，而其他一眾好友都已經遠遠在前頭往前衝啦，我為了轉移我的左膝傷疼痛意焦，拿出數碼相機拍照，除了拍我身後的一眾跑友，同時也拍另一方向回程的選手，包括峇株巴轄的兩位極快跑友第三名和第五名，接著是PM一眾跑友包括隊長等人。

我就藉著如此的拍照及慢跑和走的方式繼續我的比賽，為避免讓左膝加劇，我多數用右腳的力，結果在回程時，右腳覺得要抽筋，撞牆啦！慘，心中想有苦吃啦！

回程的一段下坡路，一位華裔男性跑友由於不支倒地，跌傷左右兩膝，但是他似乎昏倒，熱心的跑友就停下互相照應這位跑友，我則負責截車，最後有一輛是組委會的技術人員駕空車經過，所以希望這位跑友最後能安然恙。

有一段路是與阿美巴慢走慢跑，最後三公里太陽公公著實太熱啦，所以盡量爭取時間跑，雙腳縱使不聽話，也得加速，超車越過Leong仔，在跑進體育場時，受到不少跑友的打氣加油，夠難為情的，最後終點是蓓溱替我加油，真謝謝她！


雖然是創下個人歷來最爛的半馬成績2:21:41，但是卻看到跑友之間守望相助，加上可與跑友相聚閒聊，最重要的是可以在跑步生涯中，留下另一不同際遇的半馬比賽經驗。

As usual ,SJ is very pia in the race,appreciate she turbo kau-kau lat to overtake Ah Loong,then boost me a little big,altough it is only about 10metres.I received the baton from SJ,and cheer by many friends,may be they thought me can fight with my captim ? Oppps...no.....!!

Once I got the baton from SJ,I must admit that little kc lah,cause I am sure Ronnie will overtake me anytime.But I don't care,I just relax and concetrate in the race,even at bridge met Phua Kok Hua,no time to say hello,but so surprise Ronnie didn't overtake me,that time I thought my pace is about 5 minutes plus,that was wrong,why I did't realise ?!

As Kenny Tan advise me before I got the baton from SJ,he said,u must pia and pia until can't breathe..opps ? I still keep pace with consistent,felt still can breathe.I was so surprise Ronnie just follow very near behind me,but I didn't look back..hehe !!
