He's 5 and a half miles away and level pegging with the virtual lantern rouge. He has to be in and out by midnight. #TheSpineRace #BritainsMostBrutal #DotWatching

Lots of finishers now and attention turns to the back of the field and those checkpoint cutoffs. Next one is checkpoint 5 at Bellingham, which closes at midnight tonight and there are currently 37 participants yet to reach it #TheSpineRace #BritainsMostBrutal #DotWatching

Another couple of miles and the runner who was in second is going to find out he's actually in first #TheSpineRace #BritainsMostBrutal #DotWatching

Crikey, the leader has retired less than 20 miles from the finish, after over 78 hours (and almost 250 miles) of running #TheSpineRace #BritainsMostBrutal #DotWatching

Over 50 retirees now (and I couldn't be bothered to do my 3rd 2 mile rep today). The leader is through the 4th (of five) checkpoint having had less than 4 hours sleep, started at 08:00 on Sunday and is around 190 miles in #TheSpineRace #BritainsMostBrutal #DotWatching

An early release for the day 3 video and it reinforces for me absolutely not and how I would just die sliding off the trail. It's cold, it's wet, it's windy and they are going into their second night. Not for me, well done dots. #TheSpineRace #BritainsMostBrutal #DotWatching […]

40 participants have retired already, just under 28 and a half hours in (to a race that has a 7 day cutoff). It's icy out there, lots of opportunity to slip and fall. Someone's already managed to fully fall in a river. #TheSpineRace #BritainsMostBrutal #DotWatching

Bellingham is closed and the final chickens are coming home to roost on the @spinerace.bsky.social .
It will be hot today and there are some very sore feet out there.
I'm willing the lovely Jody Manning home.

The last night out on the Pennines and the cut-off clock is chasing them across the Cheviots via the final refuge at Hut 2. Willing them all to make it before I wake up tomorrow and before the 08:00 cut-off. #TheSpineRace #BritainsMostBrutal #DotWatching

So exciting, he's running with someone and they are clearly running now that they are so close to the finish (which is good for my bedtime) #TheSpineRace #DotWatching #BritainsMostBrutal

5k to go for my friend to complete the Winter Spine Race on his second attempt. I guess I'm going to be watching that finish line feed again tonight #TheSpineRace #BritainsMostBrutal #DotWatching

Cleo Bishop-Bolt rescuing a dog on the Cheviots is the Spine race story for me. Love it. Fashioned a leaf from a spare jumper she had & got him to a refuge hut. Brilliant stuff. (Pics nicked from FB) #TheSpineRace

Both of my friends made the daily video today: one on the safety team, one participating in the full race. There's a lot of people involved in getting those participants safely up the Pennine Way. #TheSpineRace #BritainsMostBrutal #DotWatching

I watched Lucy and John cross the line last night on the fixed webcam, and will try not to stay up to see runner 111 do the same tonight. Still plenty of participants up and down the Pennine Way who started at 08:00 on Sunday! This is when there is more time to hear their stories. #TheSpineRace […]

Once again as I laze in my nice warm dry bed, my thoughts turn to those slogging their way North on the Pennine Way. At the back it's a race to get through checkpoints before they close, remembering that these utter legends started their races on Sunday morning! #TheSpineRace […]

Once the top 10 have been through the next checkpoint I expect he'll be back into 2nd even with the time penalty. His cause not helped by sleeping through his alarm and missing the start back on Sunday morning. #TheSpineRace #BritainsMostBrutal #DotWatching

Into their second night and 59 participants (of the original 160) have already retired. As the remainder continue to head North the snow and ice is giving way to bogs and mud. Rather them than me. #TheSpineRace #BritainsMostBrutal #DotWatching

Good luck to all the runners on #thespinerace - it’s my annual reminder that no matter how mad I am, I’m not mad enough to attempt it. Massive kudos to everyone - stay safe and good luck @nuddypants.bsky.social
