The Cape Wrath Challenge Marathon is one of the most remarkable runs in the UK and past participants say that both it’s physical challenge and stunning natural surroundings are unparalleled by any other UK marathon event. It is essential that every participant understands that this is quite unlike a normal road race. It is extremely challenging, including a climb of over 2,415 feet and is the most North Westerly and probably the most demanding marathon on mainland Britain. The route is extremely exposed. The logistics involved in hosting these events mean that available entries are limited and it is vital that individuals and teams register early. https://capewrathchallenge.co.uk/marathon-and-team-event.html
