Last weekend saw the latest instalment of the Lake District SkyTrails taking place in Glenridding - including the Helvellyn Ultra and Pinnacle Ridge Extreme and more.
A full compliment of SCARPA athletes took part in the races with some impressive performances. A full weekend of running started on Friday night with the Swirral Grind 850.
Howard Dracup took on the course which features 850 metres of ascent over 6k - making it a fast race up Helvellyn.
Saturday's main event was the Helvellyn Sky Ultra - one of the most technically demanding marked races in the Lake District with wonderful terrain over the 57k course.

Simon Roberts and James Nobles (one of the newest additions to the SCARPA Team) both ran excellent races - finishing 2nd and 3rd respectively.
Also on Saturday was the 29km St. Sunday Race - where Carmine de Grandis ran a great race.
On to Sunday and the main event of the Pinnacle Ridge Extreme at 28km route with some really technical ground and some really technical hands on rock experience.
Sara Willhoit and Harry Holmes were both strong in this race - with Sara finishing 2nd and Harry in 3rd.
The last race of the weekend was the Place Fell 15k - which turned into a fast blast around the fell. Jon Shield was determined from the start and flew round in a new course record.
