Knowledge Nights: Conquering the Montane Spine Race with Anna Troup

Ellis Brigham Knowledge Nights are all about sharing our outdoor experience. Along with guest speakers and partners, we will give you the tools you need to tackle your next adventure. From tips and tricks on getting the most out of your gear to advice on destinations and preparing for your next expedition. We will cut through the jargon and give you no-nonsense advice.

Join us for an inspiring evening with ultrarunner Anna Troup, one of Britain’s most accomplished endurance athletes and three-time winner of the legendary Montane Summer Spine Race — the 268-mile “Britain’s Most Brutal” challenge along the Pennine Way.

Anna has not only conquered the Spine Race multiple times, but in 2025 she made history by becoming the overall winner, finishing ahead of the entire field.

You’ll walk away inspired, motivated, and armed with ideas to take into your own running — whether that’s a 10k or your next ultra.

Know what’s Happening Next — before everyone else does.
