EXPO AND MARKET

The registration will take place on the Knysna High sports field, which is the same venue as the race finish. Both the Expo and the Market will be open for Registration as well as on Race Day. 

This will ensure that there is something for everyone from food and drink stalls to running equipment, gifts, curios, and more.  We look forward to creating a fun vibe for runners and supporters at the Knysna Forest Marathon.
