00:04Matthew Pengrazi crossed the finish line this morning, completing the race at 6 a.m. and 52 seconds,
00:14completing the Sonda Monster race in just over 45 hours.
00:18He's now a two-time winner, with last year having completed the race alongside Chris Avery,
00:24when the pair made a pact to complete the race together.
00:27But this year was a very different race, with Pengrazi managing to maintain a massive lead over the competition.
00:37The leading 128-kilometer runner, Thomas Giles, followed behind him,
00:43having crossed the line at 6.17 a.m., completing the Ellery Monster run in a little over 21 hours.
00:50Beautiful, that's the ticket, that's the ticket.
