This Week In Running: January 12, 2026
"There was heavy snow, ice, rain, and wind in the days leading up to the race. This is a long one, and so it's really early. Last year's men's race was won in 82 hours, and the first-place woman completed the adventure in 87 hours. At the time of this writing on Sunday, Eugeni Roselló Solé (Spain) leads the men, and Johanna Antila (Finland) is in front of the women's race."
"Third at the 2025 Trail World Championships Short Trail contest, Andreu Blanes (Spain) ripped a 27:47 sprint. That was only good for 29th against the world-class road field. Golden Trail World Series runner Joey Hadorn (Switzerland) was 55th in 28:20. In the women's race, Tereza Hrochová (Czech Republic) was 14th in 31:05, and that was a new Czech national record."
The 268-mile Winter Spine Race began January 11 as a one-way, non-stop challenge along the Pennine Way, with heavy snow, ice, rain, and wind prior to the start. Last year's men's winner finished in 82 hours and the first-place woman in 87 hours. Eugeni Roselló Solé (Spain) led the men's field and Johanna Antila (Finland) led the women's race early on. The Winter Spine Challenger South 108-mile race required a course change due to severe weather; Jack Scott won in 25:10 and Sarah Page won the women's race in 29:03 with a 13-mile lead. In Valencia, fast road times included Andreu Blanes' 27:47 and Tereza Hrochová's Czech 10k record of 31:05.
