Read more about our participants past and present. Dear runners,Like us we are sure that you are all acutely aware of the COVID-19 pandemic and how it may influence events like the 2021 edition of the Cape Wrath Ultra®. At this stage (still nine months before the 2021 edition) we’d like to reassure you that managing the COVID-19 risk to everyone involved in the event is top of our priority list. Observant participants now entering the 2021 edition of the Cape Wrath Ultra® will have spotted some subtle but important changes to the format and rules of the event. Ordinarily this would have passed without comment, as we continually update and fine tune each event. However, because almost 300 participants have transferred their entry from 2020 to the 2021 edition, we wanted to make these changes crystal clear. Dear Fellow Runners,Like you, we had hoped that this action would not be necessary, but in line with government advice to “stop non-essential contact with others and non-essential travel, start working from home and avoid social venues”, we feel we have no choice but to cancel the Cape Wrath Ultra® that was due to be held 24th-31st May 2020.
