Its all over for Brown

Crane operator Michael Brown has sadly ended this year’s Ultra race from John O’Groats to Lands End.

The race was ended at 23:51 last night with five miles of the days 61.1 mile leg left to go. Brown had slowed to the point where he would have taken at least two more hours to finish and the rules state that runners need to complete each section by midnight.

Sadly he had completed over 520 miles in nine days and had beaten all the other runners, the last of whom dropped out on day six. Please register to see all images
