Superb result for Jenny Yeo, first woman on the 2023 Montane Spine Race. She looked and sounded remarkably relaxed, despite having 268 miles under her belt and at least 3 seasons of weather! She had a very decent lead on the second placed woman, who in turn, has a large lead on the third!

Huge congratulations Jenny! πŸ™ŒπŸ»

To say he nailed it is an understatement! What a phenomenal run by Dave Phillips. Winner of the 2023 Summer Montane Spine Race. Looking chipper as anything despite 268 miles of ever changing conditions and challenging Pennine Way terrain. His nearest competitor is around half a day behind him. Outstanding running!

Congrats Dave! Amazing achievement! πŸ™ŒπŸ»

@stuffjolikes That’s the hardest part - watching people DNF towards the end. They managed to remain in good spirits and looked well when they came in to us in Kirk Yetholm. The runners on the are a different breed somehow πŸ™ŒπŸ»

@id1om Ah… it’s a slippery slope. I started with some innocent dot watching and now run the whole checkpoint department. I rota around 150 volunteers to the crew each year. It’s intense but hugely rewarding work!

I've been boosting recently because I'm fascinated that a gruelling 264 mile race up the exists and I had no idea until this year.

The race began in 2012 according to this Wikipedia entry, when only three people finished...
