Medical guidance

The Cape Wrath Ultra is a tough challenge – you will need to look after yourself to finish well (at the front or the back of the pack), so we’re glad you’ve come here to read this. We know from previous editions of the race that a large proportion of the race field will seek help from the medical team at some point during the race. In 2016, 55% of the field sought medical help, similar in 2018. Approximately half of these visits concerned blisters with the rest concerning medical issues or musculoskeletal sprains and strains.

Guidance on hygiene

Maintaining basic good hygiene standards at our events is important because the risk of a communicable disease spreading quickly amongst the participants and event team is a possibility and this could ruin, or even end, someone’s race.
