Britains most brutal race

For those in the club interested in long days in the hills here is a link to a race billed as 'the most brutal race in Britain'.

The Spine Race is a non-stop ultra-endurance race along the Pennine Way. The runners set off from Edale on 14th January and are now well on their way towards Kirk Yetholm. The distance, terrain and winter weather conditions have been taking toll on the competitors with quite a few having to pull out of the event.
