Enter the Wrath Sprint South
56 miles from Fort William to Kinloch Hourn, in true Spine style.
Shorter, but still a serious mountain and wilderness race — equivalent in positioning to the Spine Sprint, in more remote terrain. No full-support checkpoint before the finish, but two welfare checkpoints along the way.
This isn’t a race for spectacle. It’s for runners who want to test themselves against one of the last truly wild trails left in the UK – all backed by the same dedicated logistics team, army of volunteers, safety crew and medics who make The Spine possible every year.
“The Wrath reignites the pioneering nature of the Spine – more difficult, more self-sufficient, more remote, more raw.”
Phil Hayday-Brown, Race Director

Race FAQs
The Wrath is the new home of the Cape Wrath Ultra. We hold the intellectual property behind the original race, and have rebuilt it in The Spine style — solo, self-sufficient and non-stop, rather than the previous staged format.
