Her story has hit national headlines all across the world. Read: Jasmin Paris becomes first woman to win Spine Race & smashes course record She slept for only seven hours during the non-stop race and, as she is still breastfeeding, also expressed milk at four of the five checkpoints. Jasmin’s winning time was 83 hours 12 mins, beating the previous overall course record (set by male ultra runner Eoin Keith in 2016) by 12 hours. The mum-of-one trusted inov-8 to keep her protected from the elements as she powered her way to the record-breaking Spine Race win and an emotional reunion with her husband and 14-month old daughter.

Kit choice is crucial and having the right gear to withstand the fierce conditions when the weather closes in can be the only difference between completing the race or getting pulled off the course by mountain rescue.

The race, dubbed as ‘Britain’s Most Brutal’, follows the 268-mile mountainous backbone of England along the Pennine Way and takes place in the middle of winter.Ĭompetitors are exposed to wind chill lows of -20C, 45mph winds, driving rain, snow and ice. Inov-8 brand ambassador Jasmin Paris created history by becoming the first-ever woman to win the legendary Spine Race outright, smashing the previous course records in the process.
