History was made at the 2024 Spine Race with winner Jack Scott smashing the course record by more than 10 hours.
The INOV8 athlete completed the 268-mile winter race, widely regarded as one of the toughest ultrarunning endurance events in the world, in an astonishing time of 72 hours 55 minutes.
The 29-year-old ultrarunner crushed the previous record of 83 hours 12 minutes, famously set by Jasmin Paris in 2019. INOV8 team-mate Damian Hall, last year’s winner, came second in 82 hours 25 minutes, also going under the old record.

There aren’t many events which come with the description of being a cross between the Marathon des Sables and the Ultra-Trail du Mont Blanc.
But that’s what one of the runners called this incredible five day slog through the beautiful foothills of Nepal. The combination of rolling hills and gruelling climbs with a multiday format meant I could certainly see how they’d come up with that particular comparison.
Before we even started running the experiences jumped at us – initially in the form of a gang of rather cheeky monkeys who we met during a visit to Kathmandu’s otherwise peaceful Monkey T ..read more

To coincide with International Trails Day 2022, Endurancelife organised teams of trail running enthusiasts to relay the full distance of some of the most iconic trails in the UK. Each trail had been divided into bite-sized chunks and runners applied for their preferred leg by ballot.
The challenge was first held in June 2020 and was borne out of the Covid-19 pandemic when social distancing was enforced and mass participation events were on hold. The 2022 relays ran concurrently over the Platinum Jubilee bank holiday weekend with each relay leg typically measuring around 10 miles. Every team’s ..read more
