The top 3 positions could hardly be any closer at 35hrs into the 144hr race, with less than 4 miles / 6 km between the present #1 Kenji Okiyama of Japan and William currently in #3.

As I type, William is around 1 mile / 1.5km behind Didier Sessegolo in #2, and will probably pass the French runner shortly, although with 109hrs left in the 6-day race, the top 3 positions are likely to swap around several times.

1	Kenji Okiyama	JPN	M45	250 km	155.34 miles
2	Didier Sessegolo	FRA	M45	246 km	152.86 miles
3	William Sichel	SCO	M55	244.4 km	151.61  miles
