My Pick ‘n’ Pay Knysna Forest Marathon 2013
Oh Knysna Forest Marathon, how we love to run thee. But, 2011: spectacular half-marathon taxi debacle delayed start; 2012: understandably cancelled due to flooding of route; 2013: disgraceful marshalling error at a crucial point. What are we to do with you?

The Pick ‘n’ Pay Cape Times Knysna Forest Marathon 2013
After the hugely disappointing but totally unavoidable cancellation of the 2012 Knysna Marathon, it will be interesting to see if there is a decrease in demand for this sold-out event. My feeling is the heavy rain experienced will have done nothing to dampen the spirits of the thousands of runners keen on participating in this iconic race which is celebrating it’s 30th year!

CAPESTORM Red Hill 36.2 & 42.2km 2013
I bravely ran the 2012 Red Hill Marathon the weekend after Totalsports Terra Firma, and came apart after the Red Hill climb and descent!

The sections along the coast are stunningly beautiful as well as very runnable — the slightly boring Cape Point-direction out-and-back leg and the challenging Red Hill adding some teeth to the course.

My CAPESTORM Redhill Marathon 2012
A last-minute decision to enter the much talked about CAPESTORM Redhill Marathon saw me driving through to Fish Hoek Athletics Club pre-dawn Saturday morning for a last-minute entry. The race turned out to be a bit of a Tweet-Up, and I got to meet some Tweeps in person for the first time…
