Skyrace® des Matheysins
A LEGENDARY
RACE
In 2016, a small group of trail enthusiasts decided to organising a skyrunning race: intense, fast, technical, friendly, local... the race was imagined and created, to be called the SkyRace® des Matheysins! In 2019, the race joins the Skyrunner World Series, the world cup of skyrunning. Since then, it has obtained an international reputation as an extreme race, intense both physically and mentally.
PREPARING YOUR RACE
You didn’t come this far to stop
Here you'll find all the information you need to prepare your race.
Need more information? Don't hesitate to contact us.
THE COURSE
There's nothing new on this route, which has been the same to the millimetre since 2019: Sentier du Diable, Pérolier, Oreilles du Loup, Tabor, Piquet de Nantes...
There will be some steep sections where it's a good idea to use poles. But you'll need to store them in the technical sections to be able to hold the fixed ropes.
We recommend to wear gloves when holding the ropes or putting your hands in the snow.
VERTICAL PROFILE
Please note that the altimetric profile of the course is not printed on the bib.
But it's quite simple, either it goes up or down ;)
MANDATORY EQUIPMENT
There is nearly no mandatory equipment, which means that some runner will be able to go very fast.
Depending on how long you think you'll spend on the course, don't hesitate to take some equipment/energy reserves.
AID STATION
You'll find the following at the aid stations: water, sparkling water and cola, dried fruit, fresh oranges and bananas, ‘Tuc’-type salted biscuits, salt sachets, local charcuterie and cheeses.
The aid station of the Cabane du Poyet will be "special".
It is possible to have your own assistance, but only in the official aid station zones, otherwise you would be disqualified.
> See rules for the position of the 3 stations.
DEPARTURE TIME
The race will start at 9.00 AM on Sunday 20th April, 2025 from the race place.
FAN ZONE
Join the Scarpa Karpos Fan Zone at the 1st aid station, located in St Honoré 1500 and easily accessible by car.
Come and cheer on the runners in an overexcited atmosphere: your energy will be their driving force!
There will be plenty of entertainment to make this stopover a real highlight for the participants. The public can also warm up with a cup of tea from our partner Yogi Tea.
> Runners will pass between: 9h25- 10h10
