This weekend sees the return of the Salomon Skyline Scotland – and the very first edition of the Ben Nevis Skyline.

As part of the Salomon Golden Trail Series, this new race is pure Skyrunning: high-octane mountain racing across technical terrain and ridges, literally tracing the skyline of Ben Nevis and the Càrn Mòr Dearg Arete.

I’ll be out on the route with camera in hand, capturing the grit, energy, and beauty of the athletes pushing themselves in one of the toughest arenas in the world.

Massive credit to the team at Ourea Events – the organisation behind these incredible races. Their work in such challenging mountain conditions makes events like this possible.

Here are a few moments from previous years in Glencoe to set the scene – and I can’t wait to share what unfolds on Ben Nevis this weekend!

Dragon’s Back Race 2025 | 6 Days | 380km | Wales at its Wildest

What. A. Week.
Still drying out, still sorting kit, and still processing everything we saw and shot on this year’s Dragon’s Back Race.

It was a privilege once again to work with the fantastic Ourea Events team — delivering one of the most iconic and demanding mountain races in the world. From the truly biblical conditions on Day 1 (I’m not sure I’ve ever been so wet as I was on the Pyg Track…) to the blue skies and sweeping views that closed out the week — this race had it all.

Huge respect to every athlete who took on the challenge — Dragons and Hatchlings alike — and massive congratulations to David Parrish and Holly Wootten for taking the overall wins.

I’ll be sharing a full highlight gallery in the coming weeks once I’ve had time to dig through the dust, the rain, and the memories.

Until then, hats off to everyone who made the 2025 edition one to remember.
