‘Runner pulled from Montane Spine Race event due to death threats’

Rob Slade has this insane story for ‘Live for the Outdoors‘:

Speaking to the RunUltra podcast, Sarah [Porter] explained what happened next: “I got a message saying that there were threats coming in and it’s quite dangerous. They were talking about executing me on Standedge, were talking about the fact I was going to be on my own in the night. They were very serious threats. Those threats also went through to the Spine team. By the time I got to Standedge a team from the Spine Race met me and said ‘we’re withdrawing you from the race and we need you to get off course’.

Jesus, fucking Christ…

The threats are linked to some of the humanitarian and charity work that Sarah does (you can see her Spine Race fundraiser here), which involves evacuating and supporting women and girls from war zones, and also helping women break barriers in male dominated spaces.

I can’t even with people…
