Elphinstone's Dean Radford and David Sweetnam walked part of the 65km and were happy to finish in less than 9 hours.

Chance's Lorna and John Wilson stopped for refreshment on the long way home.

They would have smiled for the camera, but Dean Radford and David Sweetnam "didn't have the energy" not far from the finish of their ultra-marathon today.

"We're pretty worn out," they said on the way back to Lady Barron. Nonetheless they were happy with the time it took them to get back to the crew of Elphinstone Weigh To Go.

About 10km from race control, the Wilsons are running well, with Lorna using an mp3 player for inspiration.
