Adventure Nutrition supporting the Cape Wrath Ultra®
We are delighted to welcome Adventure Nutrition as a new Event Partner of the Cape Wrath Ultra® for its next three editions.
This exciting news comes as organisers and participants prepare for the 2022 edition of the event, running from 22nd-29th May this year.
Adventure Nutrition will be providing a stock of dehydrated meals for the event to cover various contingencies and to feed the advanced teams working ahead of the main event.
The Cape Wrath Ultra® is organised by Ourea Events and Race Director Shane Ohly comments:
“The event has complex logistics, which require a small team of personnel to work one day ahead of the main team, helping to establish our next overnight camp. We wanted to ensure that this crew was well feed and the range of dehydrated meals provided by Adventure Nutrition was a natural choice.”
He continued, “Additionally, we work through many contingencies when we plan this event and one challenge we want to be able to manage is the loss or delay of our catering vans transporting food and/or equipment. Consider the impacts of a breakdown, road closure or road traffic accident. In such a circumstance we wanted the contingency capability to feed participant and crew, and the simplicity of the dehydrated meals from Adventure Nutrition gives us the option”.
The Cape Wrath Ultra® is an incredible ultra-running expedition race, that sees participants run 400km over just 8 days through the spectacular landscapes of Knoydart, Kintail, Torridon, Assynt and Sutherland on an epic journey North. It’s a true test of endurance, but also one to be savoured, as runners will become fully immersed in the unspoilt, untamed Scottish wilderness.

Stuart Hamilton, Sales Director at Adventure Nutrition said, “Adventure Nutrition are thrilled to be able to partner with the two premier ultra races in the UK, the Montane Dragon’s Back Race® and the Cape Wrath Ultra®. Our philosophies are closely aligned and centre around pushing ourselves in wild and beautiful places, whilst looking after them and encouraging others to do so. Founded by a group of people who enjoy doing just that, we remain in awe of the achievements of the competitors who each have their own intriguing back stories and motivations, as well as what these two races are achieving for the mountain running community. Adventure Nutrition is here to support you on these journeys.”
