Amongst those toeing the line at 8am on Sunday 11th Jan in the wind and rain stand the athletes of Team Montane, keen to challenge themselves against the Spine Race course and Jasmine’s record:
DEBBIE MARTIN CONSANI
MONTANE ATHLETE | Race #194
Debbie regularly competes in 24hr races at an international level. She has also won and/or medaled in races such as the Montane Lakeland 50 and 100, and finished in the top 20 females at the 2017 Tor des Géants. Her mental fortitude is second to none and comes into her own the tougher it gets.
TOM HOLLINS
MONTANE ATHLETE | Race #167
Tom won the Spine in 2017 and placed in the top 40 in the 2019 Tour Des Geants, finishing both in under 100 hours. He’s a relentless runner who often seems to get stronger the further into races he gets, and will be a serious contender.
JAYSON CAVILL
MONTANE ATHLETE | Race #127
Jayson put in a blazing first-half performance at last years’ Spine, but unfortunately had to retire due to injury. Later that year, he won the Montane Lakeland 50 in spectacular fashion and only 20 minutes behind the course record.
GWYNN STOKES
MONTANE AMBASSADOR | Race #239
A Spine Race Veteran, Gwynn has completed the Spine 4 times – including 3rd and 4th place finishes in 2018 and 19 respectively. His consistency speaks for itself – his finishing time last year was 20hrs faster than in 2018. A similar performance this weekend could significantly improve the colour of his medal.
