Scafell Skyrace 2018 was truly brutal. After several months of unprecedented scorching sunshine and high temps in the UK left the land scorched and the rivers and streams that’s served as water refills bone dry. The race had one aid station mid-way which felt like a million miles away in that heat. The race is truly brutal and mountain runnng in its purest form. Super technical throughout, exposure, boulder fields, scree runs, slabs, everything. The ascent is killer over that distance and your legs don’t get much rest of the super technical descents. It’s nearly killed me and a third of the field either retired or DNF’d. The course has changed for 2019 and I cannot wait til two the start line. I highly recommend this race if your after technical running!
