  • Winding through the beautiful lochs, glens and mountains of the Scottish Highlands, the Cape Wrath Ultra™ is an ultra-running expedition through some of the world's most inspirational landscapes, including Morar, Knoydart, Kintail, Torridon, Assynt and Sutherland.
    This film follows the progress of the inaugural race in May 2016, focusing on some of the first ever participants to take on this extraordinary adventure.
    The Cape Wrath Ultra™ took place in May 2016 and was filmed by Rich Heap and Ben Pritchard.

    27:13 "If I can see it, it can't be that bloody far!" That cracked me up, haha.

    Absolutely amazing to watch, I wanted to cry when one of the runners said "all the hurting is healing, it clears your mind of all of the bad thoughts"

    Great Doc, well filmed of some of the finest places in Scotland. Recognised all these lovely spots having backpacked and cyclepacked Scotland over many years. Can't imagine running it though !
    However, good to be self contained, camping wild over multi day treks.
    That shot up Loch Hourn from near Barrisdale is lovely, Kinloch Hourn to Barrisdale is a classic walk.
    Nicely organised race and friendly participants with everyone looking after each other.
    Thanx, enjoyed watching this. MS, Scotland.
