@DrNicBerger Many congratulations to you and Jen.

@Mark_Simpson73 Absolutely, very sad and tragic news of one so kind to us.

@Lukebe4uleap Still going thanks, just slower!

After 91 hrs 54 mins I finished the Race Across Scotland, 215 miles. I it nearly 2am and I could only just hold this big belt buckle in one hand. 9th and oldest female to finish. Over 50% do not finish.

@wilcoxjason1 More than planned, 2 x3 hr sleeps

[Sharon Gayter @SharonGayter]

The Race Across Scotland was beautiful, best belt buckle ever for finishing. Rather tired now, 215 miles of mainly sunshine but a storm too @UGB200

[Sharon Gayter @SharonGayter]

On our way to Scotland for another long adventure. The Race Across Scotland by @UGB200 follows the beautiful and remote Southern Upland Way. Me running, Bill and Baxter crewing.

@CantwellMartin Easier to go West to East.

Lyke Wake Race 40 miles of wet weather (Fylingdales had 113 mm rain according to BBC weather this morning). Wonderful to see old friend Gerry Orchard supporting at finish. When I ran 6 hr 33 in 1993 he ran 5 hr 31 min.

30 years ago I was first lady in this race. Today I was first V60. Beautiful day out in the North York Moors. Thanks @Ultrarunner2

[Sharon Gayter @SharonGayter]

@CantwellMartin @CockbainEvents Can be either, most of mine were races of 50 miles +

[Sharon Gayter @SharonGayter]

Earned a cup of tea in this one, at least a 50 mile ultra per month for 12 months. Thanks for the challenge @CockbainEvents

[Sharon Gayter @SharonGayter]

Run well Mark and enjoy the beautiful course.

[Mark Simpson 💙 🇺🇦 @Mark_Simpson73]

Next Friday I start the Hardmoors 200. An ultra run of significant magnitude. I would appreciate any support. https://t.co/s6sCgQRGux

She has had a tough experience this year, crossing the line with a black eye and described this year’s experience as one of the toughest she has ever done.

Congratulations from the Montane Spine Race Team.

Her international pedigree showed as she went endured the Peaks, Dales, Pennines and Cheviots could throw her way. Undoubtedly, the combination of distance, exposure, personal and mental management combines to form a huge challenge for all of our athletes.

Many know Sharon Gayter as the long-time record-holder for Land’s End to John O’Groats. Here in Kirk Yetholm, she is a serial finisher of Britain’s Most Brutal race. Sharon completed the Summer Spine in '22 & '23 but hadn't finished a full Winter Spine until now.
