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

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

Dusk brought down the temperature and stopped the scorching sun that’s been steadily baking our runners. As we go into another long night on the trails there’s cloud rolling in and rain is forecast as we approach dawn, bringing a new set of challenges again…

…but Day 2 hit hard with driving rain on Pen-Y-Ghent.
Still, Ellie Atkins powered through for an incredible result. Huge congrats from the #SpineRace team on an epic run and a well-earned 2nd place!

Alastair Wareham crossed his first Spine finish line with family cheering him in. Ground conditions were rough, but the serenity of the overnight stretch through Gargrave made it worth it…
