Salomon Skyline Scotland offers two days of trail running, ranging in distance from 5k to 18k. From Kinlochleven, the event will give runners the opportunity to run in the heart of the stunning scenery of the Scottish Highlands.
a line-up of 5k, 10k and 18k events will return this year, all on terrain that is trickier, and involves more height gain, than the average trail race.
Billed as Britain's toughest 5k, the Grey Mare’s Trail Race will start at 10:30am on Saturday 18 September. The route shares some of the same terrain as the Salomon Mamores VK, which is an indication of the short but very sharp challenge for participants.
Starting at 10:30am on Sunday 19 September, the Loch Eilde Mòr Trail Race is 10k and will take runners into beautiful remote terrain near the River Leven. Held on the same day and sharing some of the route, the Three Mealls Trail Race is a challenging 18k event that will take participants to stunning locations and breath-taking views.
Organisers hope to attract junior trail runners to the 5k and 10k races, offering places at half price for participants aged under 18. Runners from the age of 12 can take part in the 5k and the 10k event accepts entries from those aged 14 and over.
In addition, on both Saturday 18 (10:05am) and Sunday 19 September (12:45pm), young athletes will be able to tackle a ‘Fun Trail’ run, starting and finishing at the Ice Factor in Kinlochleven. The runs are aimed at youngsters aged 6-12, but adults who wish to run with their children will be welcome to join in.
