I have run the Knysna Half and the Knysna Marathon, but this year I have gone big and entered the Knysna Big 5 Sport Challenge! The Challenge is now in it’s 4th year. Whilst each event has it’s own organiser, the Big 5 Challenge is organised by Magnetic South, and entry is through them.
Where: Knysna
When: 29 June — 06 July 2013
Website: www.magneticsouth.net | www.oysterfestival.co.za
Facebook: KnysnaOysterFestival

To enter the Big 5 Challenge you need to enter 5 of the 7 Pick ‘n’ Pay Knysna Oyster Festival events below. There is a complex points system in place (see the website for details). All 5 races of your choice will be electronically timed. For more information and other queries, please contact Christine on big5@oysterfestival.co.za or on 044-382 2932.
