LOC at the Montane Spine Winter Race
Congratulations to LOC member Ian Haslett who, earlier today (Fri 16th), completed the full Montane Spine Winter Race, just a mere 268 miles along the full length of the Pennine Way from Edale in the Peak District to Kirk Yetholm in the Scottish Borders ! Ian left Edale at 8am on Sunday morning and took a total time of 125 hours 26 minutes and 37 seconds in what has looked like a seriously brutal edition of the race, earning himself a top 20 finish and taking a massive chunk off his previous time.
Runners have had to deal with everything from ice, snow, rain, wind and bogs with a number of high profile retirees throughout. 150 started the race last Sunday, at time of writing 27 have finished of 91 still competing (the dot watching continues online for those back runners).
Enjoy the rest when you get home Ian !!
