“That evening the camp was a beautiful site nestled in a glen next to a beautiful loch with mountains all around. I took a dip in the loch, and just chilled out around camp before we all congregated to watch the excellent race movies and finally pick up my medal. What an amazing 8 days!”

“The Cape Wrath Ultra is the only race I have ever done twice, the high quality of the route, with the perfect mix of technical trail and challenging mountain running, taking in the absolute best bits of awesome remote terrain that Scotland has to offer - all makes for an unforgettable adventure”

“Cape Wrath Ultra is a fantastic running experience like no other, from the spectacular scenery, the camaraderie with fellow competitors, amazing camp set ups and brilliant camp teams, the organisation is second to none. My top tip: prepare your feet now, get them used to plenty of boggy, wet, heathery running/ walking, with enough prep in the right terrain you can enjoy a blister free 8 days of running in true wilderness!”

“8 of the most tortuous, adventurous, epic, amazing days of my life”

“It was then I learnt the hard way that Cape Wrath miles are not like normal miles. I think it was about 6 miles to camp so I remember thinking an hour / an hour and half to camp – it turned out to be nearer three hours!! A single track path which went up and down, rocky underfoot, overgrown with heath and bracken – it literally felt like we were never going to make camp!!”

“I am excited for the challenge and excited to discover a new sport and find some exciting trails, and I’m excited to take everyone with me on my wee journey to the start line. You never know I might even make it to the finish line!”
