William ran on until roughly midday achieving a distance of 116 miles / 186.8 km by around the 24hr mark (after which he has come off track for food and a brief rest).

Diddier Sessegolo of France has moved up into 2nd place (William dropping back into 3rd) while William has been away from the track, but we can expect to see a lot of repeated leap-frogging of this kind over the next few days as athletes come on and off track during rest breaks etc.

Kenji Okiyama of Japan is still the current race leader, at present around 7 miles / 11 km ahead of William (which is a very slim lead in multi-day terms).
