- The Montane Winter Spine Race 2023 enters day eight. It's the final throw of the dice for the remaining ultra runners as extreme sleep deprivation and exhaustion takes it toll. Freezing temperatures grip the cheviots providing one last obstacle for those desperately trying to stay ahead of the cut off. It is said, that backmarkers don't "lose" in a race like the Spine. They just take longer to win.
For those that are following for the first time, all Montane Spine ultra marathon races follow the Pennine Way.
The Sprint race is 46 miles and needs to be completed within 18 hours.
The Challenger South and the MRT Challenge cover a distance of 108 miles with a time of limit of 60 hours.
The Challenger North is 160 miles with a cut off time of 108 hours.
The Montane Spine Race is 238 miles and with a 168 hour total time limit.
This series of short films are forming a truly inspiring ultra running documentary. That is owed to the inspirational ultra runners who are testing themselves well beyond what they thought humanly possible.

So brilliant to see a whole episode devoted to the back of the pack. Some of the toughest and most resilient folks on the course. Incredible.
That last bit looks really tough compared to round here! I'm just really happy that I can experience this amazing event without stepping over my doorstep and the best part about it is seeing the smile on their dial when they see me waiting for them and when I hand them a hot cuppa or food. I've got to know quite a lot of people because of it and it feels like they are like family every time I see them every event. It's funny someone said I'm the spine HQ legend! It's really a nice thing to hear. Also the video I got of Damian has done well and Damian even commented yesterday saying ace to meet you man. I'd like to know the name of the French film crew who interviewed me for making Racers cuppas. I didn't catch their name, it was just so surreal and I'd had no caffeine until I made them for the Racers. If anyone knows can you drop the name in here or one of my videos please.👍❤️💛💚 cheers 😁

It's been an tense & exciting series to watch from the comfort of my home but apart from the perseverance of these incredible athletes/ competitors a big round of applause for those that have put the films together - you really have captured the emotion of it all... some emotional moments but also some absolutely heart warming scenes in there - stunning videography, congrats.
