All her hard work and determination paid off over the last 84:56:37. Anna has reclaimed her place as our Summer champion. She executed a tactically exceptional race and claimed a well deserved win. She ran her own race and was able to apply pressure as those ahead began to struggle… #SummerSpine

It’s been amazing to see those socks cross the fells again and to be reunited for a friend we hadn’t seen for too long, and a joy to put a winners’ medal around her neck once again. Congratulations 🏆 #SpineRace #SummerSpine

Summers have been just that little bit quieter around here whilst Anna has been at home, tenaciously keeping her fitness levels at their exceptional level with endless wattbike sessions and working hard to recover enough from an injury she picked up in August of 2022… #SummerSpine #SpineRace

At the finish line, she took the time to praise our volunteer team and comment on how wonderful it was to see so many familiar faces still waiting to greet her as a returning friend at every turn along the way… #SummerSpine #SpineRace

In fact, if he holds this pace he may well break the course record too! Keep watching those dots. We could well be putting medals around the necks of 3 winners before midnight. #SummerSpine #SpineRace

Shirley Murray, Shane Morgan and Dominic Gill, our 3rd woman and 2nd and 3rd men have just reached Cross Fell together. Live GPS tracking can be found here: live.opentracking.co.uk/sspine2025/ #SummerSpine #BritainsMostBrutal

They’ll also be the first #SpineRace runners to deviate from the Pennine Way trail and climb to the summit of the Cheviot, the highest summit in the range… #SummerSpine
