The new home of the Cape Wrath Ultra

The Wrath is the new home of the Cape Wrath Ultra, reimagined in true Spine style: solo, self-sufficient, non-stop, brutal.

It’s the progression of the dream that started fifteen years ago on the Pennine Way and if anything, it goes further. The Cape Wrath Trail is more remote, more raw and more demanding than anything we’ve created before.

This isn’t a race for spectacle. It’s for runners who want to test themselves against one of the last truly wild trails left in the UK – all backed by the same dedicated logistics team, army of volunteers, safety crew and medics who make The Spine possible every year.

“The Wrath reignites the pioneering nature of the Spine – more difficult, more self-sufficient, more remote, more raw.”

Phil Hayday-Brown, Race Director

• Continuous, non-stop, solo and self-sufficient — no pacers, no outside support, same DNA as The Spine
• Entirely unmarked route — self-navigation required; GPS mandatory, map and compass competence essential
• Mandatory kit will apply; full list follows closer to entry opening
• Checkpoint support (drop bags, food, sleep, medical access) still TBC — expect to carry most of what you need between them
• GPS tracker on every runner, safety teams on the ground, medical support from Global Expedition Medics
