Will's guests for Part Two of our Pre-Race Interviews are a trio with excellent running calibre. Nicky Spinks is a legend of British ultrarunning. She has multiple double rounds under her belt, a race CV full of excellent results in some of the world's toughest events, and she won the Cheviot Goat last year, so is coming into the spine race in outstanding form.
Then, we've got Claire Bannwarth. Claire is the returning winner of the Montane Winter Spine race and last year finished almost a day ahead of our nearest rival. Since then she seems to have completed, and generally reached the podium of, another ultramarathon every couple of days.
Then we've got Elaine Bisson. Elaine won the Winter Challenger South in 2020. She was then 2nd in the full Winter Spine Race in 2022, and she is back for another attempt. She comes to us after finishing 2nd at the Cape Wrath Ultra last year.
Follow the race live from Saturday 13th January 2024. You'll find links to live tracking here: linktr.ee/spinerace
