Langeberg SkyRace
A collection of drone footage filmed during the Langeberg SkyRace 2022.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.
First in the Series is Langeberg SkyRace® followed by Mont Rochelle SkyRace®. With both events taking place in winter, there is the possibility of snowy peaks on bluebird days or a good old-fashioned Cape storm. The races are short and sharp, and the experiences are infinitely bound to the true mountain trail.
