Trail & Ultra Running Thread

I think the difference now is Cape Wrath used to be multi day and now non stop… its a tough route . I know a few people who did the race and a couple of people who have done the FKT - I think Damian Hall and Beth Pascall did it for a FKT a few years ago - there is a short film of it somewhere.

Normally it’s over 8 days I think

Given it would be non stop in such a remote location (are there any pubs/shops along the route like the Spine) that’s a tough ask for sure

@doug best placed to comment IIRC?

There are the occasional pub/shop, but they are few and far between, some of them seasonal or limited hours. You might go days between them.

Previously announced was the Cape to Glen which does it north to south as a non stop race, finishing in Glenfinnan https://www.capetoglen.com/

Oh dear looks like Cape to Glen on at the same time - just going the other way

After 7 hrs 45, Courtney leading the ladies race by 26 mins. Ludovic Pommery 23 mins ahead of Tom Evan’s plus another guy

Men are at 37 miles

Average elevation for this race 11,000 feet - that would give those footy players something to talk about eh?
