A wonderful opportunity to combine
some running with a traditional
Highland holiday. The Cape
Wrath Challenge 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 Challenge will stretch over five days finishing with a Scottish Ceilidh on the final night. 2009 saw the event reach the maximum numbers we could cope with and this has brought about strict limits which will have to be imposed in the future especially for team entries on the final day.
We realise this will not allow the same flexibility we have given In the past but will continue to be as accommodating as possible. The entry form asks about attendance at the final night Ceilidh as places for this will be limited |
