The MONTANE®Spine® Race is probably the toughest event that I've yet undertaken. A non-stop race along the 268 miles of the Pennine Way from Edale in Derbyshire to Kirk Yetholm in Scotland, much of it is on high level ground, 2/3 of it will be in darkness and the weather is likely to be a serious factor. Last year, Jasmin Paris smashed the course record in under 4 days. The cutoff is 7 days. I have no idea how it might go for me.....There will be live gps tracking...details to follow.
