They sent all five!
David Rees, Jory Linscott, Tim Jones, Jacqui Guy and Michael McIntyre are now running up Davey St in central Hobart, attempting to be the first monohull sailors in a decade to win the Hydro Tasmania Three Peaks.
They have a break of about an hour and decided it was enough time to attempt to take out the Tilman Trophy as well.
Good on them... Their official departure from Hobart race control two minutes before 8pm so we'll be hoping to see them back about midnight.
According to the yacht tracker, which calculates ETAs based on the speed the yachts are travelling, VisitFlindersIsland is now in second and expected just after 9. But they'll have a battle on their hands with Deguello and Community Carbon, which is within sight behind them.

Wow, that is good to know! So are you a runner then? Or friend/family of the competitors?
