THE inspirational story of record-breaking fell runner Nicky Spinks is being featured in a new film.
A collaboration between INOV-8 and film producer Nick Brown brings her story to the screen in Run Forever.
In May 2016, Spinks, a 49-year-old cancer-survivor, made fell running history by becoming the fastest person to run a Double Bob Graham Round.
Marking ten-years post-diagnosis, the farmer from Yorkshire ran the 132-mile Lake District route in 45 hours and 30 minutes, taking over an hour off Roger Baumeister’s record which he set in 1979.
Starting and finishing in Keswick, a standard Bob Graham Round involves a 66-mile circuit of 42 summits including 27,000ft of elevation gain, to be completed in less than 24 hours.
Spinks did all that twice, and became only the second person and first woman to go sub-48 hours.
Run Forever will be premiered at the Kendal Mountain Festival in November before its public release.
