400KM THROUGH SCOTLAND? IS THAT ALL IN ONE GO?
No, Cape Wrath Ultra® is a multi-stage race.
The distance of 400km is split into 8 days of running.
Enjoy spending each night in our “pop-up” campsites.
HOW FAR DO YOU RUN EACH DAY?
The longest day is day 6 (72km / 45 miles) and the shortest is day 8 (26km / 16 miles). The average daily mileage is 50km / 30 miles.
WHAT KIND OF RUNNING SHOULD I EXPECT?
The majority of the course is on good tracks and paths, with sections of indistinct paths or pathless terrain. There are also some sections of tarmac and even some river crossings. Your feet will definitely get wet!
