Looking at the live Cam on the website, it's still daylight up there and she is within about 2 miles of Hut2, the final stop zone before the last 8 miles.of the race.
I hope it's just a mistake and she soon realises and doubles back.

More drama in #Spinerace
The two leading women, Johanna Antila, and Anna Troup have split apart after running about 100 miles together.
Johanna's tracker has a maintenance symbol on it and she has diverted slightly off the Pennine Way. I hope she is OK. This is very unusual.

Eugeni Sole absolutely nailing the race at the moment in the mens. Literally half way through @ 134 miles.
The womens race is very interesting with two sets of two running along not far apart.
This is going to be an awesome finish!

Oh no, runner 259 doesn't seem to have checked in at Hebden Check point, CP1 on the spine race.
I hope he realises before he goes too far.
This could be an absolute disaster for him. Its very cold and conditions are challenging. They have done 50 miles of the 268m.

It’s been a very busy 16 hour day so far, so I’ve had little time to post, but my guru buddies rocked up in Edale today 👋🏻 🤩 so there were lots of smiles 🥰

You might want to try dot watching as a replacement for TMS Katy. Tomorrow the Montane Winter Spine race starts. Runners compete in different events, but the main one is a 268 mile race up the Penine Way. Brutal!

Good luck to all those who are taking the challenge. The weather is going to be savage!
A silent peak into the registration process here in Edale. The sound is off for privacy purposes!
Kit check comes first, then registration (assuming kit check was passed), then photography against the Spine backdrop, before heading back out

For anyone travelling to Edale today, Winnats Pass / Mam Tor Road still totally impassible but the lower road in from Hope is doable
Travel safely!

I arrived in a snowless Edale. A couple of hours later, heading back to the van to sleep, and it’s getting chunky!

🏆 Paul Brennan dominates the Montane Spine Sprint (46 miles) with a jaw-dropping time of 9:26:48! 💥 Battling waist-deep snow, slippery trails, and brutal conditions, he secured a massive win with a smile on his face. Legend! 🔥👏 #TrailRunning #MontaneSpine #UltraMarathon #spinerace
