This race 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 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.
Given this background and the international entry list, Luke Maude had an amazing run to finish in fourth position behind a Norwegian and two Frenchmen to end up first British finisher.
This was an incredible performance of which Luke can be immensely proud.
