A wonderful opportunity to combine some running with a traditional Highland holiday.  The Cape Wrath Challenges can not be compared to any other running event, offering physical challenge and mental stimulation in unrivalled settings for exhilarating outdoor activities.  The dramatic landscape of North West Sutherland is truly inspiring with beautiful sandy beaches and a healthy abundance of birds and wildlife with guided tours available.

True “highland hospitality” can be enjoyed in many local hotels and guesthouses.  The Cape Wrath Challenges will stretch over five days finishing with a Scottish Ceilidh on the final night.
