Overview

Traverse the full length of the legendary Mamores ridge, linking five Munro summits in one spectacular journey. From a sharp climb out of Kinlochleven to the rocky heights of Sgòr Eilde Beag and the sweeping ridgeline all the way to Mullach nan Coirean, this route delivers continuous mountain running at its finest. Fast descent into Glen Nevis leads to a final climb beneath Ben Nevis’ towering north face, before a thrilling plunge through Leanachan Forest and the steep, twisting Blue Doon trail to an unforgettable finish at Nevis Range. Rugged, runnable, and relentlessly scenic - this is classic Scottish mountain running.

Route description

• This race route traverses the full length of the Mamores range, an iconic mountain ridge, linking 5 Munro summits. 
• After an exciting start, weaving through the streets of Kinlochleven, the route climbs steeply up An Cumham via excellent mountain trails, to overlook Loch Eildhe Mor. 
• A steep climb up a good stalkers path leads up to the first summit on the ridge, Sgor Eilde Beag. From here a mix of technical rocky ground and grassy trails lead across the mountain summits all the way to the western end of the ridge at Mullach nan coirean. 
• A fast runnable ridge then leads the way down into the forest in Glen Nevis before joining forestry tracks leading the Ben Nevis visitor centre and the Aid station. 
• The route now joins the Ben Nevis tourist path, rapidly climbing again to Lochan Meall an t-Suidhe (otherwise known as the ‘Half Way Lochan’), before traversing under the towering north face cliffs of the Ben to the CIC hut. 
• Descending via the main Allt, a ‘Mhuilinn track takes runners towards Leanachan Forest and excellent tracks that eventually connect with the lower section of the Blue Doon MTB downhill track. It is steep and unrelenting, with banked turns leading to an amazing finish at the Nevis Range 
• The entire route is runnable for skilled off-road runners and features a mixture of forestry tracks, technical rocky sections, mountain trails and paths. 
• The entire route is mandatory and will be comprehensively waymarked during the race. At all times, runners must follow the established path and marked route without deviations, such as cutting corners in zig-zags paths, or taking a direct line between two points. Failure to observe these rules during the race will result in disqualification. If you are recce’ing the race route in advance of the race, we kindly request that you always stick strictly to the established path on the ground.

What an amazing weekend. From every runner, supporter, volunteer, organiser, exhibitor and the place itself - WOW. This is the best and most iconic event in the UK.

Incredibly well-organised event! Despite seven races taking place simultaneously, the event village never felt overrun / busy. Even if you were taking part in one of the shorter races or simply spectating, it was inspiring to keep track of all those participating in the longer / more demanding races via the multiple big screens and be able to cheer them across the finish line. Even better was the fact everyone crossed the same finish line - made my shorter event feel a little more special than it already was. Everyone was super supportive too - spectators, marshalls, organisers, fellow participants. I will definitely be returning!
