Lochaber is a skyrunner's paradise - big ridges, big views and a big reputation for some of the best Skyraces in the UK. Between Glencoe and Fort William there's no shortage of options (see our Running Challenges guidebook for examples!) In 2015, Glencoe became home to the UK's first ever skyrace (Skyline Scotland), which grew to feature both the Ring of Steall Skyrace (a Golden Trail World Series race) and the iconic Salomon Glen Coe Skyline®. For a time, these races attracted top athletes from across the globe and were part of the UK Skyrunning Calendar and World Skyrunning Series. For 2025 the event has moved to nearby Fort William, where we can soon expect 10 new iconic races - all taking place on September 20th (race routes TBC). The event centre will be Nevis Range, ideally located beneath the UK's highest mountain, Ben Nevis. Girls on Hills has been the official guided recce provider for Skyline Scotland since 2019 and you can see all of our 2025 race recces via www.girlsonhills.com (see Events). Our Co-Founder and guide Keri Wallace works as part of the UK Skyrunning Media Team. She also previously competed in the UK Skyrunning Team and more finished 3rd in the Skyrunning UK National Series in 2023. Several of our other guides have also raced events such as the Glencoe Skyline, Ring of Steall and Ben Nevis Ultra, as well as other skyraces across the UK. Our guides know these mountains inside out - as locals, as runners and for some, as Glencoe MRT members too. To join Scottish Skyrunning, runners should have a good level of fell running/hill fitness and a bit of a 'head for heights’ (i.e. not have vertigo!), to get the most out of the weekend. But you DON'T need skyrace experience or to be a fast runner! We'll be taking a sociable pace with plenty of walking mixed-in. If you’re not sure if this is for you, then please just drop us an email and ask. Join us to learn more about skyrunning or just to experience some of the best ridge-running the UK has to offer.
