About the Event

Step away from the ordinary at DIVERGE Skyruns on April 30, 2027, where Australia’s most serious skyrunners gather to test their limits. The Mt Lyell Skyrun offers an epic 50km course through rugged terrain, while the more accessible but equally challenging Mt Owen Skyrun covers a distance of 25km. For those looking for shorter adventures, there's the Little Owen Trail Run at 13km and two Airfield runs: a sprinty 5km option and a slightly longer 10km route. A unique highlight is the Lynchford Express Run, where participants board the iconic West Coast Wilderness Railway steam train before running back to beat it or simply enjoying the scenic run along the tracks. The event also caters to younger enthusiasts with its Kids Run, ensuring there’s something for everyone who loves the outdoors and adventure. If you're a local resident of the West Coast Council LGA, don’t miss out on your exclusive 20% locals' rate by emailing ahead of time.
Experience the wild beauty of Tasmania's west coast as you navigate through stunning landscapes and challenging trails that will leave no doubt about why DIVERGE is considered one of Australia’s most serious skyrunning events.
