EVENT LOCATION

The start and finish for all events (except the 42km SkyMarathon) will be at:
Pioneer Park Recreation Reserve, 64/72 Coronation Ave, Bright VIC 3741 (Google Maps)

Parking

There will be ample parking available at the event hub at Pioneer Park. We’ll also be providing a map of parking sites closer to the date.

carpooling

Please reach out to the community of runners who will be in Bright to ask for a lift to the Event Village or anywhere you might need to go to crew or change team relay legs. We are creating a Community Facebook Group for this exact reason, to make it easy for people to find a quick lift from the community.

Spectators and Crew

The best way for the crew to make their way around the course is by car. If you don’t have a car you will need to organise a carpool or simply find people at each aid station who are going to the next.

There are many places over the course where spectators and crew can see their runners. Please refer to the interactive CAPRA Map to find the best places to see them.

All Aid Stations are easily accessible in 2WD as well as all roads on Mount Buffalo. The only dirt roads are the last 2 km to the Baker’s Gully Aid Station and from Cresta Valley to the Horn. If you want to drive to Clearspot to spectate or crew, please follow the CAPRA map route to the summit as it can be confusing to find your way.

Getting to the Startline for the SKYMarathon on Sunday March 24

Start Address: Gorge Day Visitor Area (Mount Buffalo National Park)
Mount Buffalo Rd, Mount Buffalo VIC 3740 (Google Maps)

We encourage runners to book a shuttle from Pioneer Park to the Start (shuttle booking closed as of March 11!). If you do not have a crew who can drop you off, then this will be your best option aside from organising a carpool. 

There is limited parking at the Chalet for the Marathon Start. It will be first come first served. After this it will be a drop off ONLY. Please do not drive only yourself up there from Bright and plan to leave your car, since you may not find parking. If you plan to have your crew drive you up, be prepared for them to just drop you off and drive back down the mountain. 

Shuttle Times

Runners will have to meet at the Shuttle Pick Up point in Pioneer Park at 5:10 am for a 5:20 am rolling departure.
