Thank you thank you thank you for putting on such a spectacular race. I had an amazing time! The scenery and course were absolutely top notch but what made the race beyond special for me was the volunteers and other racers. Everyone was fun to be around and very positive. I will promote this race as a 10/10!!

I've been lucky enough to take part in many great events but the Cape Wrath ultra was unbeatable, perfect in every way from outstanding scenery to great camaraderie. Do it!
It was one of the greatest experiences of my life, loved it!

The Event team and the volunteers were incredible throughout the week, I always felt that they genuinely cared and the treatment I got was personal to me and yet I knew they were engaging with another 170 runners in the same way

Well organised, perfect atmosphere, stunning sceneries!

An epic adventure trough the most remote and beautiful parts of Scotland, exceptionally well organised by Ourea events. I would do it all over again tomorrow

Outstanding. When you throw your heart and soul into a race of such magnitude, the benefits are insurmountable. I feel so fortunate to have been a part of this event... the scars are badges of honour and worth every iota of pain, especially when you relive those momentous moments through Ellie and Matt’s images. Majestic and Magnificent. Whether you race or volunteer - you’ll be making the best life memories you could ever ask for

I will strongly recommend your race to others and would like to come back for more myself
