How a 9-year-old came top of the leaderboard
Home>Newsletter > How a 9-year-old came top of the leaderboard

Every time you run on Skamper you get a grade.


Your grade is our measure of your performance adjusted for your age and gender. Not only that, it takes into account the length of the route you ran, the elevation profile and the surface.


We use this grade to build the fairest running leaderboards in the world.


So, here’s Scarlett. Aged nine.


She ran Cartworth Moor last Saturday with a grade of 75.2. Not the fastest time of the day. But the best performance.

INOV8 x Skamper: Wainwrights Weekend

We had a wonderful time last weekend running with new friends in the Lake District. It was amazing to see runners travelling so far to run this new icon for the first time.


And wonderful to hear people buzzing so much about the route.


Congratulations to everyone who ran. Now tell your friends to get it on their list of challenges!


Thank you so much to INOV8 for joining forces with us on these challenging modern classics.
