Debbie Martin-Consani -Spine Race
Winner of the Montane Winter Spine Race -10th-anniversary edition
Dubbed one of the most formidable Ultra challenges in the British Isles since its creation in 2012, the Montane Spine Race frequently attracts a top field of athletes, and this year’s edition was no exception. The main event is celebrating its 10th anniversary with each year welcoming champions, veterans, and newcomers to a gruelling, non-stop, 268-mile race along the Pennine Way.
Starting in Edale, Derbyshire, runners had just seven days to make their way to Kirk Yetholm in Scotland, battling fierce winds, rain, snow, and ice in a mid-winter struggle with nature. With each competitor granted only eight hours of daylight every 24 hours. Ultra athletes had to fight around the clock and through the dark in a harrowing race for victory.
British Ultrarunner Debbie Martin-Consani, returned this year to meet the start line for the second time in her racing career, adding first place female finisher of the Montane Spine Race to her impressive and extensive race CV.
Speaking with Ultrarunner Magazine, Debbie shares her experience along the Pennine Way.
