Geocache Description:


The Big Five hills on the route of the Comrades Marathon, on the up run appear in the following order: Cowies Hill, Field's Hill, Botha's Hill, Inchanga, and Polly Shortts.
The Cache will bring you to the top of Polly Shorts.

Even Dimitri Grishine, whilst heading for a record, has had enough of road running for the day by the time he reaches Pollys. For lesser runners, the sight of the hill can break them.

It is an interesting piece of Comrades trivia that the same pride, relief and joy has so strengthened the Comrades leaders that, to date, the runner reaching the summit of Polly Shorts first, in both the men's and women's race, has never been passed in the final kilometres.
