A Scottish runner has made history by becoming the first woman to finish one of the world's hardest ultramarathons.
She was so exhausted she slumped to the ground after finishing the race which is inspired by a famous prison escape. Pictures show her legs scratched from pushing through sharp bushes and scrub in dense forest on steep slopes. Racers are also required to bring an additional "fee", which in the past has included things such as a white shirt, socks, or a car registration plate, as a donation for being a non-finisher.Competitors must find between nine and 14 books along the course before removing the page corresponding to their race number from each book as proof of completion.
