Incredible job, congratulations! It's amazing what the human mind can force the body to accomplish!

[emlyngriffith]

For some reason, reading the video title, I expected a DNF!…..so glad you made it….i felt it all the way even though I could never manage that…and you took overt Loyd’s video. Great effort 👍🍷

Walked the SDW with my wife while the race was on. Took 9 days. Can’t imagine running it even once, let alone five times. Beautiful scenery though! Congratulations!

[JohnO]

Your race videos are so enjoyable to watch. I can´t decide if I like yours or Loyds best, so I guess we have to call it a tie😊😆.
Anyway, congratulations on finishing your 5th SDW. You have definately earned that 500mile buckle.👏👏👏

[twigrose]

Well done on that 500 mile buckle! I wondered why we didn't see you at Southease but will let you off 😁. It was a lovely night for it. 🌌

[nicmarlow]

You've hit the 40k mark!!! 🥳🥳🥳🥳 (well deserved!).. This video was epic, really great to see the mental strength you use to get yourself through the hard times. And the lady you spoke to at the Alfriston aid station was Jane, she's someone i've marshaled with before and I know I know her but neither of us know where from (i'm from Oxford so it's not that i'm local). Such a lovely lady! well done on such an epic achievement 👌🏻👌🏻

I saw you filming at the start and thought 'crikey wasn't he at Cape Wrath the other week, how's he managing this' 😂congrats on making the finish! This was my first 100 miler and I was one of those idiots who went off too quick at the beginning!

[matthewrendell]

Inspirational as ever Stephen. Congratulations on finishing the race and for receiving the 500 mile buckle! BTW, love the 'Right Here Right Now' thing at the end - great choice of music! Looking forward to seeing what you get up to next. Val d'Aran CDH for me a week on Friday!

[DanCross]

Never underestimate the will to finish! The lady at the end swore to me early in the race that poles were pointless, but there she is, conquering the SDW with some DIY ingenuity! 👏

[johncoldham]

Well done Stephen, congratulations on the 500 medal! was very funny you and Loyd messing around at the start! 😆

[severiner]

Well done Stephen, I'm pleased you were able to do it in the end. You also seemed to have had a good race mentally! Congrat!

[ThomasGroves-sopx]

Well done, awesome to finish with injury and all the other events you did leading up to this race . You deserve that 500 buckle, well done again

[anthonyanderson]

Well done in the race. Good video as well. I still think it`s nuts

[ozenfant_ozn]

[SteveB]

Amazing and inspiring video. As usual!!

[pauladdison]

Brilliant run Stephen well done. Great channel 🏃‍♂️👏

[BenNotley]

Great video as always Stephen. Huge kudos on getting it done despite the tiredness and the injury mate. 💪👏🏅 It was missing a special something though....Mr Paul Coates! 🤣🤪

[johnmiller]

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, you are an absolute inspiration Stephen. Everything about the manner that you approach these events is to be admired. 500 well deserved 👏🏻👏🏻

[neilbeacher]

Congratulations on a great video and, more importantly, another successful SDW100. Love this race and this year was my 3rd finish. I swore never again when it was over but now …🤔

[paulmulks]

Ooooh been looking forward to this 👌🏻 Interesting shoe choice, any reason behind that particular offering? All I can say is a huge congratulations on finishing yet another 100 miler, fantastic achievement. You have inspired me so much that I've decided the 2025 event will be my first bash at the 100 mile distance so maybe see you on the start line 😉 Big well done to Victoria as well for chasing you along the route 😀
