TRAIL RUNNING
The SkyRun Routes
SkyRun 100
The SkyRun 100 is unlike any other challenge on the South African racing calendar . Participants are required to be self-sufficient with regards to both navigation and gear , all whilst tackling the remote terrain of the Witteberg Mountain range . Armed only with a GPS unit ( or map & compass ) and a backpack containing all their food , water and compulsory equipment that will enable them to survive in this harsh environment , the athletes head forth into the unknown for 100km of life-changing racing .
SkyRun 65
The SkyRun 65 is a serious challenge for any aspiring ultra-distance trail runner , with the added complexity of being a self-supported , selfnavigational race . The participants enjoy the challenges of the SkyRun with regards to rugged terrain , breath-taking views and serious climbs , but without the pressure of a daunting 100km to complete . The SkyRun 65 is an experience that should not be missed , with a warm welcome waiting at the finish and a lifetime of memories to look back on .

SkyRun 38
On its own , the the SkyRun 38km is a great run that will push athletes ’ physical limits whilst allowing them to enjoy the thrills of mountain running in one of the most beautiful mountain playgrounds that South Africa has to offer . In addition , it is a great stepping stone to something bigger , something like the SkyRun 65 or SkyRun 100 , and this event allows athletes to be part of the incredible SkyRun vibe while still doing a more manageable distance .
