The 400km route is completed over 8 days, and it offers a compelling ultra running challenge. Participants will have none of the complex logistical worries that hikers traditionally encounter when embarking on the Cape Wrath Trail or other long-distance footpaths, such as the Pennine Way.

The Cape Wrath Ultra race follows a route based on the Cape Wrath hiking Trail, often described as the hardest long distance backpacking trail in the UK. Usually, it takes hikers at least 20 days to complete. But under the expert guidance of Ourea Events, participants can traverse the full stretch in just eight days, with logistical support, camps, and safety measures that make the impossible achievable.
