Salomon Ultra Glide 3 - Trail Run

Salomon Ultra Glide 3 - Trail Run

On a glorious (almost) Summer evening, we headed out towards Banchory, Aberdeenshire, where we linked up with Salomon on the trails to put the Ultra Glide 3 to the test with a solid group of runners.

Salomon’s max cushioned trail runner is perfect for long days on the trails delivering comfort from the first mile to the last, and although we were only out there for 11.5km through forestry tracks and some gravel paths, it was great to get a feel for the shoe on varying terrain.

From granite streets to coastal winds, SAYSKY Sub Rosa hit the Scottish city of Aberdeen - and what a night it was! The weather was unusually kind, setting the stage for an unforgettable run.⁠

In collaboration with Out & Back Store, the route took runners through the heart of the city, blending local flair with pure Sub Rosa energy. Close to 100 runners showed up, bringing the vibes, the pace, and the post-run hype. Aberdeen, you showed up. What a night!

A Morning at Pitfichie with Nnormal

A Morning at Pitfichie with Nnormal

On a misty Sunday morning, we joined The Green Run Club and trail running powerhouse Nnormal for an unforgettable run through the rugged trails of Pitfichie. We put the Nnormal Tomir to the test over 15km of forest paths and granite hilltops, racking up 460m of elevation. Despite the clag, the stoke was high, proving once again that the best runs are the ones shared.

Aberdeen and surrounding areas had been hit with some decent snow which, paired with a cold snap, had lasted around a week, but with a big thaw looming the following week, we decided to head out west to Pitfichie (about 20 miles from Aberdeen) for a trail run.

Before our SLR the other week, our friend Laura Booth held a yoga for runners class at the store which was the perfect start to the morning for not only those who then followed it up with a 15KM run, but also for those who just wanted to move and take care of their body.

A Sunday at Bennachie

On Sunday we headed out to Bennachie - a range of hills in Aberdeenshire, 20 miles from Out & Back. Mither Tap is the peak that stands out the most visually, complete with its Iron Age Fort, summiting it acts as almost a rite of passage for the people of Aberdeen and surrounding areas.
