KNYSNA NEWS - The Knysna Marathon Club, with sponsorship from Knysna Hollow, hosted the Waterfront Half-Marathon with three running events, the 21.1km, 10km and 5km fun run.
The Waterfront was abuzz with activity from early on Saturday morning, November 12 as more than 300 runners lined up for the start of the three races. Runners from as far as Cape Town and Durban took part, as well as many locals. Not afraid of the rain, all the entered runners crossed the finish line to receive their medal, including some who received their very first-ever medal.
Category and lucky draw prizes were handed out at a prize-giving held after the runs. Apart from cash prizes for the category winners, several runners received lucky draw prizes sponsored by Earth Scout, Sublime, Crush and Squirt Barrier Balm.
The marathon club expressed their sincere thanks to the Knysna Waterfront management, the municipality, traffic department, ER24, Mini Vibes, Advanced Health Knysna, Earth Scout and all the helpers who braved the weather in support of the race.
Our next race is the Nite Race on December 14, a 5km and 10km run in the heart of the summer holiday.
