Cape Wrath Ultra - Day Seven

28.05.2023See All Event Posts Follow Event

135 brave participants set off this morning, 95 of whom are still competitive, with the remaining 45 doing the Explorer Course.  These incredible runners have now been running for an entire week on their epic journey to the most northwesterly part of mainland Britain.

At 61km, today was the final ‘long’ day of the race, with the shorter final day often being termed as a ‘Victory Lap’. Runners continued their journey today through Assynt, heading over the tops before dropping down into the valley following the tracks alongside some stunning and inaccessible sea lochs. Another tough section over the higher ground led runners to a final road section alongside Loch Inchard into the camp in Kinlochbervie.

Along the way, the runners were treated to views of the tallest waterfall in the United Kingdom Eas a' Chual Aluinn. Only accessible by boat or by a long hike over boggy ground, this is a landmark that few are lucky enough to see.

It was a tough day for many, with the famous Cape Wrath weather finally rearing its head. However, upon reaching the finish, the end is now in sight, with the beautiful Sandwood Bay and the iconic Cape Wrath Lighthouse finally seeming within touching distance.
