Joe Barrs - Arctic Spine Race - 126

Edwina Sutton & Gary Thwaites Season 1 Episode 126

Joe Barrs recently, one of the first-ever finishers of the grueling 293-mile Montane Arctic Spine Race, a brutal ultramarathon across Sweden’s Kungsleden Trail, where temperatures can plummet to -40°C and competitors haul their supplies on sleds.

A seasoned adventurer and former Royal Marines Commando, Joe was drawn to the race by the camaraderie of the Spine Race community. He completed the course in eight days, 15 hours, and 19 minutes, tying for second place with fellow racer Ulf Nore. His background includes winter ultramarathons, Alpine skiing, and mountaineering, so he’s no stranger to extreme endurance.
