Many know Sharon Gayter as the long-time record-holder for Land’s End to John O’Groats. Here in Kirk Yetholm, she is a serial finisher of Britain’s Most Brutal race. Sharon completed the Summer Spine in '22 & '23 but hadn't finished a full Winter Spine until now. #spinerace 🧵

Bobby Cullen 134, a multiple Spine finisher, is about to start the Montane Winter Spine Race. Last night he finished the Montane Winter Spine Sprint and then dashed back to Edale. Now THAT is dedication. #spinelegend #spinerace

We have our first shock of a race that seems destined to have many. Returning 2020 winner John Kelly, aka @RndmForestRunnr , has retired at Cowling. John is an astounding athlete, but this is not to be his race #SpineLegend #spinerace

Mark made it! With 22 minutes to spare, after a spurt of speed in the last few miles, he reached the finish line to applause from the team. Mark Radford brings the Montane Summer Challenger South to a spectacular close. Congratulations Mark. #spinerace

Pictured here, are some of the amazing athletes currently at the back of the Montane Spine Race who were pushing to leave Langdon Beck before the cut-off last night. They are now marching towards Alston, crossing High Cup Nick and Cross Fell on the way. #spinerace #winterspine

All eyes are on the front but keep your eyes on Claire Bannwarth, there is a battle starting for 3rd place. She is catching Dougie Zinis and Joe o'leary and there is a way to go yet. #spinerace #britainsmostbrutal

Last night saw incredible scenes with the largest crowd we’ve ever experienced in Kirk Yetholm. Ian Stewart & Viv Watson turned the small border town into a scene reminiscent of Chamonix when hundreds of friends, family and fans packed the streets. #spinerace 🧵

Here are a few images from St Francis in Byrness over the last 12hrs. It’s long been a refuge for #spinerace runners. The caretaker there has also been taking care of our Safety Teams. The #SpineFamily is extremely thankful for their support.

@BishopNewcastle @TheSpineRace @willbaldlygo St Francis Byrness. This was a little pic I took after my short sleep there. So grateful that they put out a kettle and supplies for hot drinks. A race saver for many.

Soon they'll be recovered enough to start to appreciate the scale of their achievement and hopefully begin to feel some pride. And they should feel proud. David Brocklesby and Graeme Brouder were held against the wheel for 164 hrs 57 mins. And they never stopped. 3/3

Jon Shield is the winner, and new course record holder, of the Montane Winter Spine Sprint. On an intensely challenging day, Jon finished not only with a comfortable lead, but almost 2hrs inside the Course Record. Congratulations from everyone at the Spine Race. #spinerace
