“I don’t have enough superlatives. I am so grateful to everyone in the event team for making the Cape Wrath Ultra week so special. Breathtaking views meant for a week that far exceeded expectations.”
“The trail is varied and shows a fantastic cross section of Scotland. Logistics and camp very well done. The lack of aid stations and route markings make it so much better. A superb race, no complaints”
“This was easily the best-organized most professionally-run event I’ve ever participated in, let alone witnessed. Shane and the Ourea team left nothing to chance, displayed incredible agility and good humour no matter what transpired, and cultivated an atmosphere wherein success - though never guaranteed - was made more than possible. ”
“Every race is different and may throw some curve balls and Ourea events is flexible and professional on the go. I’m always sad to leave, there’s such amazing camaraderie built during this race.”
“The Cape Wrath Ultra absolutely blew my expectations out of the water. From the amazing scenery to just the community when in camp and on course was second to none!”
“You find yourself running with the same people day in, day out – you overtake them, they overtake you, people cheer you along. The people definitely make the event. We’re all in this together”
“The best challenge I have ever embarked on! I definitely hadn’t realised what an incredible experience it would be... the camaraderie is like nothing else I’ve ever experienced in a race”
“It’s the memories of the Cape Wrath Ultra that linger and make me realise that this was much more than a ‘race’ or an ‘ultra’. I think it will stay etched on my soul”
“I feel like I’m a different person now. Surrounded and supported by so many incredible people, I was able to become the best version of myself. More than a race, it’s a truly life-affirming experience.”
“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”
“8 of the most tortuous, adventurous, epic, amazing days of my life!”
