When non-runners think about running 90Km they cannot fathom why someone would willingly put themselves through that. Just like this Uber driver.

Twitter user @OscarMagud shared a picture of a man holding an Uber sign out to the runners. While we are not sure if this was just for laughs or if the man was actually an Uber driver, it is hilarious nonetheless.

In related news, Briefly News reported that a lovely-dovey athlete got the attention of Mzansi with his proposal to his girlfriend after finishing the Comrades Marathon.

@Rare_gemstone shared the heartwarming picture on Twitter, which has tickled the funny bone of many Mzansi tweeps.

The marathon dates back to 1921 and has happened annually ever since, minus a few years. It takes place between the cities of Durban and Pietermaritzburg in the province of KZN, usually 90km, and this year, the direction was down the usual course instead of up.
