The Montane Spine Race 2023 - Episode Six
20.01.2023
The Montane Winter Spine Race 2023 enters day six. As the podiums fill in the Montane Winter Spine Challenger North and the Montane Winter Spine Race, we also crown our 1st placed woman. Claire Bannwarth from France put the whole of Northumberland National Park between her and the competition before she touched the wall in Kirk Yetholm, finishing 5th overall .
A fascinating battle begins for 2nd and 3rd woman between Hannah Rickman and Edwina Sutton. While both rest at Bellingham, all eyes were on who would make the first move towards the Cheviots. It was Hannah. With many ultra runners still out on the Pennine Way, the clock still ticks, athletes at the back will need to push with everything they have just to stay in the race.
