Seven Sisters Skyline 2023

And all of a sudden we are almost at the end of the Skyrunner® UK and Ireland Series for 2023.

The year started in June in the Lake District with the Rab Scafell Sky Race and we finish off on the wild West Coast of Ireland in Donegal with the epic Excel Seven Sisters Skyline

Skyrunner’s from 7 countries around the world, being USA, Czech Republic, the UK, Sweden, France, Belgium and Poland are flocking to the west coast of Ireland to race with the massive Irish contingency that make up the rest of the male field for Irelands major mountain and skyrunning event, being the awesome Seven Sisters Skyline.

Over 150 runners will toe the start line in the early morning light to race over the Seven Sisters with highlights of natural rock-arches, single track trail on the side of rocky mountainsides where a fall would be catastrophic, typical Irish muddy trails, ascents to battle and descents to ‘live’ for.

Ellen Vitting of Ireland is fresh back from the UTMB to defend her title from 2022 with visiting Kasie Enman over from Vermont, USA [former mountain running champion] to give her a run for her money and chase the title. Rachel Burness placed 4th in 2022 and so will be in the mix for the coveted podium positions alongside Bronagh Ogara.

In the mens race some to watch out for are; Marek Wojnarowski, Liam Costello, Paul Brennan to name a few.

With the weather looking fairly settled for tomorrow race, but the ground being wet from the Atlantic onslaught of earlier in the week, it could be anyone crowned champion in female and male races over the Seven Sisters in the Derryveagh mountains from Errigal to Muckish
