Race leader approaching the Red Burn during the 2017 Ben Nevis race
Where the path crosses the Red Burn marks the half-way point up (or down) Ben Nevis. When competing in the annual Ben Nevis race, runners must reach this point within an hour or they will be turned back as it is likely that they will then struggle to complete it in a safe time.
In this image the leader, and eventual race winner, Finlay Wild is approaching Red Burn after taking the shortcut across from main track on the other side of the Red Burn.
