First-time ultra runner Molly Browne, 31, has shaved an incredible 11-minutes off the record for the “sprint” section of the Montane Summer Spine race this weekend.
Her time of 8hr 30min 29sec beat Hannah Rickman’s previous course record. She was also fourth overall, only beaten by three of the male runners – and she was less than nine minutes behind the men’s winner, Stephen Earle (8hr 21min 49sec). Lizzie Broughton and Debbie Martin-Consani came second and third in the female race.
