Cape Wrath Ultra 2024 - Day One

We are off with the 2024 Cape Wrath Ultra! After months of training and hours of prepping kit, this morning the runners finally started the journey North from Fort William towards the Light House at the tip of Cape Wrath.

And what a day it was, with the sun out and the essential slight breeze to keep the midges at bay, the racing did not disappoint. Ludwig Antilli was first over the line completing today’s 37km in 3:07:03, but he was pushed from the top spot by a second-wave starter, Lewis Taylor, who pushed to the end in 3:05:15.

Just another 363km to go!
