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.

Genadendal lies just 5km from Greyton and, while best known as a two-day hike, it's a hidden gem in the area. The course boasts spectacular views, looking down on the Robertson Valley at its peaks. A flat 2km start gives runners a chance to warm up before tackling the first of two big climbs for the day. The race features interchanging views, steep climbs, runnable hills and a few technical descents.

With the course having steep but overall runnable ascents, anything can happen on race day with a variety of skills coming into play. Don't miss this one, it's a cracking route.

 

Distances & Vertical Ascent

26km | 1550m D+

 

All four Sky Races will count towards the Skyrunning Cup, which will be based on a runner's top best three performances over the entire Skyrunning series with points awarded for positions achieved by the top 40 runners.
