Steall Ultra is a mountain trail race on Saturday 19 September 2026 linking Kinlochleven and the Nevis Range. The route is approximately 47km long with about 3,100m of ascent and traverses the full length of the Mamores range, linking five Munro summits.

The course leaves Kinlochleven, climbs An Cumham and Sgòr Eilde Beag, follows the ridgeline to Mullach nan Coirean, then descends into Glen Nevis. It joins forestry tracks to the Ben Nevis visitor area, climbs the Ben Nevis tourist path to Lochan Meall an t-Suidhe, traverses beneath the north face to the CIC hut, and descends via Allt a' Mhuilinn, Leanachan Forest and the lower Blue Doon trail to finish at Nevis Range.

Terrain includes forestry tracks, technical rocky sections, mountain trails and runnable ridge sections. The route is fully waymarked and marshalled; participants must follow the established path at all times. A GPS tracker is issued at registration and must remain attached.

There is one fully marshalled support point in Glen Nevis at 31km offering drinks, sandwiches and snacks, plus toilets. Participants have 14 hours to complete the course and the race has an on course cut off at Glen Nevis Support Point at 18:30 with course closure at midnight. Recommended prior experience is a trail marathon with similar ascent and participants must carry a secondary navigation system and the mandatory kit listed by the organiser.
