The Comrades Marathon is one of the toughest endurance events in the world, now imagine making it just a bit harder for yourself like Denver Van Den Berg did, he decided to run all the way to Pietermaritzburg & then run the Comrades.. That run took him almost 35 days, averaging about 47 km per day — roughly a marathon a day with no rest days. Himself a recovering drug addict he used the spotlight of the Comrades Marathon to inspire support from communities,organisations, and the government for those still battling addiction while raising funds 'for people who can't afford professional and compassionate treatment'. The Ramot Treatment Centre who Denver credits with saving his life is the main beneficiary of his fund raising efforts
