The expo officially opened at the DHL Stadium in Cape Town on Wednesday in the run-up to the weekend races. At the expo, runners will have the opportunity to explore, pick up, and stock up on everything they need before they hit the road.
SOME TIPS AROUND THE EXPO EXPERIENCE
Leave early and factor in extra travel time – the expo precinct tends to be inherently busy.
Be patient. Many people live and work in this precinct.
Plan your visit: Know your route and where to park.
