NEW U23 SERIES

Recognising the performances of the most talented youth Skyrunners in the UK & Ireland with their own sub-series.

Since 2024, select races in the UK & Ireland National Series will have a designated U23 age category. Inspired by the new Skyrunner World Series’ U23 Trofeo Esteban Olivero Series, in 2025 a dedicated U23 Series for younger runners will take place across the Copper SkyTrail, St. Sunday Mountain Race, Seven Sisters Skyline 30km & Mourne SkyTrail races!

Ranking points for U23 Races will be awarded the top 20 M/F U23 age cat finishers in each race. The runner’s best three results count towards their final points standing in this series and a series prize will be awarded by Skyrunning UK to the M/F overall champion at the end of the season. To be eligible for this series ranking, a runner must be aged 23 or under on 31/12/2025.

The U23 Series ranking will be regularly updated on the Skyrunning UK website after each event.
