Cape Wrath Trail shortest hike/run

Cape Wrath Trail shortest hike/run


Postby damiang » Sat Apr 21, 2018 12:30 pm

Hi,
My friend completed unsupported CWT run yesterday. It took him 8 days (14kg backpack).
We are looking for some information about shortest times achieved by others. We heard about an American guy Kevin and his 10 days run but cannot find any information. Anyone knows where to find such information?

Thanks

The Cape Wrath Ultra event is run over 8 days and runners are timed on each section.

Some results can be found here http://www.capewrathultra.com/results/

Thanks, but I mean - unsupported - when you carry shelter, food, clothes and all gear as on normal long distance hike needed for the whole trail.
On Cape Wrath Ultra competitors carry only water, whistle, and stuff needed for few hours run and not for the full length. All the rest is transported for them by support team.
The question is about "fast and light" style.
