    ROUTEBURN IN A DAY

    Further to the web-exclusive story ‘The Routeburn in one day’ (March 1), this may be of interest. On November 22, 1986, Russell Prince and Ross Redpath started from The Divide on the Milford Road and ran the track in just over 7hr – return!

    Russell and Ross were together at Glenorchy in a time of 3hr14min. Russell finished at The Divide in 7hr08min and Ross in 7hr20min.

    Not a bad effort, eh?
