As ever, all positions, distances, times, records etc are at present provisional and are subject to later verification etc but to the best of our knowledge this is the final result :

William finished 4th overall (1st in his age group) with a distance of 472.41 miles / 760.28 km having been narrowly pipped for 3rd place by Ed Ettinghausen on 476.61 miles / 767.03 km (so congratulations to Ed for making it to the the podium).

Ultra-Running legend and arguably the greatest ultra-distance athlete ever, Yiannis Kouros of Greece came 2nd with just a tad over 550 miles / 885 km

In first place was Joe Fejes with just over 555 miles / around 894 km

During the race William set the following records :

Scottish M60 6-Day Road

GB M60 6-Day Road

World M60 6-Day Road

Scottish M60 500 km Road

British M60 500 km Road

Scottish Overall 500 km Road

British Overall 500 km Road

Scottish M60 72 hr Road

British M60 72 hr Road

Scottish M60 48 hr Road

British M60 48 hr Road

Scottish M60 24 hr Road

British M60 24 hr Road

Scottish M60 100 mile Road

British M60 100 mile Road

Scottish M60 12 hr Road

British M60 12 hr Road

Making 17 Records set during this race.

Added to the 77 other records William has previously set, this means he has in total set 94 records during his career (all of which have been during the time I’ve been his training advisor, so I’m feeling a tad smug about this myself!).

Of course, this still leaves a further 69 records for William to set to achieve his goal of setting 165 records by his 65th birthday – but we’ve got a bit more than 4 and a half years left to achieve that….

Naturally congratulations to all involved, not just the top placing athletes but all the runners, their crews and the very hard working race organisers and behind-the-scenes staff.
