Knysna Forest Marathon, Knysna, South Africa, 10th July
This amazing forest marathon was my third continent. It was a tough, 30km in a cold, dark forest and then the last 12km on the road. There are so many highlights (one being the Sambuca shots at the last drink station!) to this marathon, and many runners on the day told me it is the best marathon in Africa.
