“The Cape Wrath Ultra absolutely blew my expectations out of the water. From the amazing scenery to just the community when in camp and on course was second to none!”

“I don’t have enough superlatives. I am so grateful to everyone in the event team for making the Cape Wrath Ultra week so special. Breathtaking views meant for a week that far exceeded expectations.”

“This was easily the best-organized most professionally-run event I’ve ever participated in, let alone witnessed. Shane and the Ourea team left nothing to chance, displayed incredible agility and good humour no matter what transpired, and cultivated an atmosphere wherein success - though never guaranteed - was made more than possible.”
