Below is the link you need to take part in the Givestar campaign from our episode sponsor! https://info.givestar.io/marathon2026?utm_source=Runcensored&utm_medium=mix&utm_campaign=givestar+Marathon+2026 We go behind the scenes at the Montane Winter Spine Race. This week we’re joined by Mel Sykes from the media team at The Spine Race to talk about the reality of running and working on one of the toughest ultras in the world. From long days in brutal conditions to the pressure of turning content around quickly, this is the side of races most people never see. We chat about the runners, media and support crews, the growing demand for race content, strange things runners do in ultras, and whether being on camera changes the experience. Plus: audience questions, checkpoint food debates, death threats, and whether Mel would ever run and work on the Spine again at the same event. We also chat about upcoming races like The Fellsman and future Spine plans, including an entry for next year from previous podcast guest Ellis Bland. Raw, honest, and very RUNcensored. #RUNcensored #TheSpineRace #Ultrarunning #TrailRunning #UKRunning #Ultras #Podcast RUNcensored Podcast  🎙 The unfiltered running podcast with Gary House & Ben Mounsey — honest chats with athletes, coaches and characters from the world of running. 🌍 Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/runcensoredpod 📩 Get in touch: gary@houserunningclub.com Produced by Chris Davies, Eastwood Media www.eastwood-media.co.uk Hosted on Acast.
