No updates from the official race site for a few hours so some info from Alan at trackside

Alan estimates that at 76hrs William had covered 285 miles / 460km (give or take).

Alan tells me that at present Richard Brown (UK) is narrowly in second but he is going for shower and 2 hour rest till the crowds recede.

Alan says “Between 6 and 9pm many come from work. Estimated at around 3000 people of all shapes sizes and abilities running jogging pushing prams walking dogs. ”

That sounds like a lot by anyone’s standards, but as Alan points out this influx of people is “All on a 3m wide circuit.”

The most recent update fro the official race site (circa 74.5hrs) is below:
