The 2019 Challenger Spine Race starts on 12 January and the full distance of the Pennine Way Race starts the following day on 13 January. The comment on their website sums the race up albeit I think that "event" more accurately describes it as all competitors are there testing themselves against the elements knowing that with the quality of the entrants they will be lucky to finish within 1 or 2 days of the one completing it first!
There will be trackers on the competitors as usual, I'll try and remember to post the website page on here nearer the time.
