Hmmm. Skyrunner World Series rankings say otherwise. The top Brit in the Sky series (in 21st place) is Jon Albon, and he’s from Essex. Duncan Coombs is in 69th, from Edinburgh. Murray Strain, 95th, also Scottish.
In the Ultra series, Hector Haines comes in 40th and he’s from Yorkshire but lives in Edinburgh if I remember rightly. Oli Blomfield 93rd, from the Lakes. Tom Owens, 95th, from Glasgow.
One out of 6 ain’t bad…
