The Montane Spine Sprint race is an ‘entry-level’ challenge that will give you the Spine race experience and give you a taste of what it takes to move on to the Challenger and full spine races. The distance is 46 miles and the time limit is a generous 18 hours, you will start in Edale and finish in Hebden Bridge. From appearances alone 18 hours looks like ample time, however, this challenging and technical section of the Pennine Way is a physically and psychologically demanding route that demands concentration, good physical fitness, resolve and respect.
