2023 Expo Update

We had our first expo in 2023 and although small, it turned out to be a great success and everyone was very excited this event started.

We had plans in place for our second expo to be in 2024 but due to unforeseen circumstance we had to cancel and due to the immense planning, it takes, our 2nd one will only be in 2026.

A refresher on our numbers for 2023, we expected 450 for Saturday and 400 showed up, Sunday was a different story as only 150 tickets scanned in, and this is due to the Boks winning the World Cup the Saturday and therefore our numbers dwindled a lot as 250 tickets were sold for Sunday.

We really hope and aim to get at least 1000 – 1500 hikers over the 3 days, this number is always just an estimate.  We hope to make up these numbers by arranging a Trail Run Event on the Saturday which will bring in more feet for the Saturday.
