Intro to Skyrunning

What you need to know

Who is this trip for? - Runners who are interested to get involved in Skyrunning whether it is racing or just for their own pleasure to try a different style of mountain running. 


The Terrain - On all of our trips we run on a variety of different trails from smooth and easy to rocky and technical. There are many places where you will be simply hiking as the trails can get steep.
