Enter the Wrath Challenger South

96 miles from Fort William to Strathcarron, in true Spine style.

More than the Sprint, not the full Wrath — a serious step up for runners who want a big multi-day objective without the full expedition distance. One full-support checkpoint at Kinloch Hourn, plus two welfare checkpoints en route.

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.
