About The Event
The Skyrunning Series is based on European-style mountain running, where technical trails, big mountains and fast descents into villages below are the order of the day.
Cape Town SkyRace® starts in the leafy Homestead Park and runners are sent straight up into Deer Park.
The race features spectacular views of Cape Town's Atlantic seaboard before heading up to tag the highest point on Table Mountain, Mcalear's Beacon. The route is a legacy course as one of the laps from The Special Edition, a race born as part of the Ultra-trail Cape Town. While it doesn't feature the figure of eight-style ultra, the 25km Cape Town SkyRace® course does offer some of the most spectacular parts of Table Mountain running.
The race village is the comfortable Homestead Park, a space for supporters and runners to enjoy the post-race gees and Jack Black beers!
