Story

Hi so although i’ve been doing many different runs etc this one’s a biggy so thought let’s try and raise some funds for charity again so first this is what i’m doing

The Montane Summer Spine is a non-stop, 268 mile race along the most iconic national trail in Britain; the Pennine Way. Beginning from Edale in Derbyshire, runners have a time limit of 156 hours to reach the elusive village of Kirk Yetholm in the Scottish Borders. This is widely regarded as “Britain’s Most Brutal” endurance race. A truly epic challenge that will test your physical resilience and mental fortitude. Racing non-stop and unsupported through day and night, you will experience the sheer breath taking magnitude of this route where summer temperatures can fluctuate from the high twenties down to zero overnight. Prepare yourself for one of the biggest challenges of your life,
