Ring of Steall Skyrace - a race guide covering what the course is like in detail, by Claire Maxted from Wild Ginger Running.

"A variation of the classic 'Ring of Steall' ridge-walking route this 29km / 2,500m mountain race has spectacular views of Ben Nevis from the Mamores and includes short sections of easy scrambling."
The Salomon Ring of Steall Skyrace™ follows in the tradition of skyrunning, which consists of uncompromising mountain running, such as scrambling along mountain ridges with steep ascents, traverses and descents on technical and challenging terrain.
This skyrunning race route incorporates two lofty ridges within the Mamores, including the Devil’s Ridge, which provides a thrilling and airy traverse with Glen Nevis visible ahead and as a yawning drop far below, and Ben Nevis beyond and towering above.
Our race route is set within the Mamores, which are an east - west series of majestic Munros (Scottish Mountains over 3,000ft / 914m) and in this route there are four that will be summited. The Salomon Ring of Steall Skyrace™ was an immediate hit when it launched in 2016 and has already established itself as a classic skyrunning event.

I've signed up for this year! Excited! It'll be a challenge for me but thanks to your video I managed to get a feel for the tricky scrambling parts :)
Fantastic video, well done! Strongly considering signing up this year just so long as I can figure out travel arrangements! 🙏
What an awesome video. You captured the running action and scenery so well and which such humour. Well done too on your race. :)

@@wildgingerruns Survived! 🤣 Took me about 7hrs 15min. Vlogged the entire race so it's taking me a lot longer to edit that than run the race! Absolutely epic location.

@@wildgingerruns Thanks Claire, been building up to it with a few other mountain races this year. I've got a sponsor for the video so committed to getting it finished this weekend 🙈 Worst bit was hiking back up 900m the day after to shoot additional drone footage.
Such a cute voice, loved watching this!
Did you get in because your youtube channel etc or did you have to enter like everyone else?
