What Makes It Great

An introduction to the SkyRun experience that is anything but easy. Starting at 14:00 from Wartrail Country Club, this loop covers the upper Witteberg section — climbing to Edgehill, pushing out to The Turn, summiting Halstone Peak, and returning to Wartrail. An afternoon start means runners finish mostly in darkness, and the course is entirely self-supported with no crew access or drop bags. Self-navigation by GPS with no course markings applies as it does for all SkyRun distances.

Race Highlights

GPS-only navigation, no markings
Same self-navigation ethos as the 100KM applies here — this is not a typical marked trail race
Afternoon start = night finish
14:00 start means the majority of the course is run in darkness; headlamp mandatory
Fully self-sufficient
No crew access, no drop bags, no aid stations — carry everything from start to finish
