His is the second fastest BGR after Kilian Jornet's time 12hrs 52mins. George Foster becomes the first Brit, and only the second person, to come in under Billy Bland's legendary time of 13hrs 53mins, the record that stood from 1982 until beaten by Jornet in 2018.
Local photographer Tom McNally was on hand to capture the event:
