SkyRunner RaceDay Edge
Trail poles with grip and glove system
SkyRunner Edge – Ultralight Carbon Poles for Trail & Ultra Runners
In the demanding world of mountain ultramarathons, where terrain is unpredictable and every step matters, your gear must be as resilient and high-performing as you are. The SkyRunner Edge is engineered specifically for these extremes—delivering a cutting-edge combination of ultralight construction, race-ready durability, and innovative design to help elite runners perform at their peak.
Constructed from premium Toray 800 carbon fibre, the SkyRunner Edge weighs just 138g (120cm including glove) and folds down to a compact 38cm—making it one of the lightest and most compact trail running poles available today.
At its core is the UK-designed Edge Clip system, a fast-attach, secure grip and strap solution that enables efficient power transfer through each stride. It allows for quick hand release and re-attachment on the move—ideal for technical trail running where seamless transitions can make all the difference.
Refined through motion analysis of Mountain King TrailBlaze athletes, the SkyRunner Edge has been shaped to align with the natural flow of runners—optimising how the pole is thrown forward and recovered stride after stride. This delivers smoother movement, improved rhythm, and enhanced energy efficiency across any terrain.
Designed for steep climbs, sharp descents, and everything in between, the SkyRunner Edge strikes the perfect balance of rigidity and lightweight agility. Whether you're scaling alpine ridgelines or descending loose, rocky switchbacks, it remains steady, responsive, and built to perform under pressure.
The SkyRunner Edge is more than just equipment. It gives a critical performance advantage, supporting long-distance adventures, reducing fatigue, and helping runners stay fast, focused, and in control when the terrain fights back.
Perfect For:
Technical trails with steep climbs, rocky descents, or rolling elevation
Ultra-distance events like UTMB, Spine Race, Hardrock 100, MDS, and UTCT

Why choose the SkyRunner Edge?
The Edge Glove
At the heart of the SkyRunner Edge system is the ‘Edge’ clip—an innovative in-house design developed specifically with trail, ultra runners and Nordic walking in mind. This unique mechanism allows for rapid and intuitive clicking in and out of the pole, streamlining transitions during high-output efforts and technical terrain. Whether you're powering uphill, descending aggressively, or needing to free your hands quickly, the Edge clip responds instantly without delay..
What sets the Edge clip apart is its ability to provide a secure, locked-in feel, ensuring that the pole becomes a true extension of your arm. This firm connection enables efficient power transfer with every step and push, minimizing energy loss and maximizing stride rhythm. Despite its snug hold, the system is designed for quick attachment and release of the strap from the grip.
The result is a grip/strap solution that enhances control and responsiveness without compromising agility or comfort—exactly what’s needed in the unpredictable world of ultra-distance running.
Race-Proven Carbon Shaft Construction
The SkyRunner Edge has the same shaft diameter and advanced carbon layup as the SkyRunner Ultra RaceDay—Mountain King's lightest and most race-focused pole. This proven design delivers the optimal balance of stiffness, weight, and responsiveness, trusted by elite athletes competing in the most demanding ultra-distance events world-wide.
Made from premium Toray 800 carbon fibre, the shaft is engineered to provide maximum strength-to-weight efficiency, ensuring stability on steep, uneven terrain without adding unnecessary load. Whether you're pushing hard through technical switchbacks or flowing across high mountain ridgelines, the shaft’s responsive feel and torsional resistance helps convert effort into forward motion with minimal energy loss.
Unlike many poles on the market, every SkyRunner Edge tube is fully manufactured in-house at Mountain King’s UK facility. Starting from raw carbon fibre fabric, each shaft is cut, layered , cured, and precision-shaped under strict quality control. This vertical manufacturing process ensures consistent quality across all carbon poles, allowing Mountain King to closely monitor performance standards at every stage of production.
This commitment to craftsmanship and control guarantees that the SkyRunner Edge performs exactly as intended—race after race, climb after climb—delivering the same elite-level reliability and confidence as its RaceDay sibling, but with the added versatility and comfort of a glove-integrated grip system.
