Registration, briefing, and the start line.
We encourage you to support the local community. Mountain View Country Inn sits right next to the start line, with Blue Pepper Guest House and Lupela Lodge a short drive away. Rooms book up months in advance, so lock in early.
Camping facilities are available at the Lady Grey Caravan Park and Country Club (082 495 6626 / 082 056 3531).
The finish line, race village, and recovery.
Paid camping is available.
Bidstone Guest Farm and Balloch Cottage offer cottage rooms and camping across the valley — a good option if the Country Club books out. Expect a drive to the 38km start or from the finish.

From John Michael Tawse's pioneering solo traverse in 1991 to the modern era led by Adrian Saffy and Michael de Haast, the spirit of the mountain remains unchanged. While it has grown from a lonely, freezing trek into a global endurance icon, SkyRun has always stayed true to its essence: unmarked, self-supported, and unapologetically wild.
