Mountain King Trailblaze Edge Pole - Pair
TrailBlaze Edge – Aluminium Poles for Trail & Ultra Runners, with an innovative integrated glove system for trail running for 2026
In the demanding world of mountain ultra marathons, where terrain is unpredictable and every step matters, your gear must be as resilient and high-performing as you are. The TrailBlaze 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 Mountain Kings most reliable aluminium tube, the SkyRunner Edge weighs just 148g (130cm including glove) and folds down to a compact 4 section pole—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 TrailBlaze 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.
