Enter the Wrath 2027
236 miles from Fort William to the Cape Wrath lighthouse, reimagined in Spine style.
The Wrath is the new home of the Cape Wrath Ultra, reimagined in true Spine style: solo, self-sufficient, non-stop, brutal.
It’s the progression of the dream that started fifteen years ago on the Pennine Way and if anything, it goes further. The Cape Wrath Trail is more remote, more raw and more demanding than anything we’ve created before.
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

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.
