With final preparations taking place, scores of riders will begin to arrive in Forrest, for the 2009 Kona 24 hour event.  Some 800 competitors will be coming to Forrest over the coming weekend.  Many riders will be bringing support people, which should bring the number of visitors to Forrest well over 1500 for the weekend.

The Kona 24 hour is a major economic stimulant for the Otways area with many visitors spending money over the whole weekend.
