DIVERGE Skyruns, run by Trail Ventures, is a third-party trail running festival in Queenstown.
Select the events you’d love to experience across the 3-day festival, and then contact us through the enquiry form.
We’ll put together a 4-night package tailored to what you’re after. We then ask for a deposit to secure your spot.
We’ll follow up with all the important details, and from there your job is simple — arrive in Hobart on the 29th April.
Our standard package includes the 3 events outlined below. We offer options to upgrade to the longer distances on the Saturday and Sunday.
Board the heritage West Coast Wilderness Railway steam train at Queenstown, and take the 20 minute scenic journey to your start line, at Lynchford, where you can the run or hike the 5km’s back.
This course gets you right up in the mountain – without having to scale it up to the alpine. There also aren’t any exposed ridgelines so it’s the super friendly way to get outside your comfort zone.
Run or hike along some single trails, to the Queenstown Airfield, an operating airstrip, with amazing views. You’ll do a short lap of the tarmac and then it’s back to the trails, back to Queenstown.
Option to upgrade to the below events.
The course starts from the main street of Queenstown. Mt Owen towers directly above. And you will ascend it by scrambling exposed ridge lines on the most direct route. Descend via the most gnarly MTB in the network, Natural Selection.
On the same course up and traversing Mt Owen, this then keeps going across to North Owen, descends to the valley floor, then doubles the mountain epic scaling Mt Lyell. This one is proper epic, and ATE has secured 4 places in this already sold out event!
Heading west from Queenstown, away from Mt Owen, and into dense lush bush through an old brick works, and past recent alluvial prospecting sites. You’ll immediately feel like you’re a world away.

The Friday and Sunday runs are designed for all running abilities.
On Saturday, the 15km is challenging but a good test for beginner runners. We recommend only intermediate to advanced runners opt for the 25km or 50km distances.
From the Diverge SkyRun website about both the 25km and 50km –
The course traverses some exposed and isolated alpine ridgelines where a fall in some places could result in serious injury or death, and wild weather can be expected. Experience and confidence with exposure to heights, and scrambling using hands and feet, is essential. Technical rock climbing skills are not required.
Accommodation is shared. Single-room upgrades may be available as an add-on depending on hotel availability. Please note accommodation is extremely limited in Queenstown and will be fully booked across the weekend, but we can look at options upon request.
You acknowledge and agree that you are required to maintain your own insurance coverage to protect against any risks associated with their participation in the Event. It is the responsibility of each participant to ensure they have adequate insurance coverage to mitigate such risks.
We also recommend travel insurance to cover your flights, personal gear, and any unexpected changes.
We will provide a full recommended kit list in the welcome pack.

No — they’re optional shake-out runs designed to help you settle in and enjoy the build-up.

A charity committed to supporting individuals grappling with Alpha-1 Antitrypsin Deficiency, a rare hereditary disorder.
The condition is characterised by low blood serum levels of an essential protein made in the liver, that protects lungs from progressive tissue destruction.
Although its prevalent among 1 in 9 Australians, it often remains undetected. Treatment is also very expensive (over $100,000 per year for life), making it financially unaffordable for many and leading to a reduced life expectancy.
Alpha-1 Org are the only active charity in Australia advocating for the condition. All donations will go towards supporting the charity in growing their footprint in Australia.
