[7] In September 2020 Verjee set a female record for the fastest completion of the Pennine Way, finishing the 268 miles (431 km) run in 3 days 2hrs 28mins.
[10] She tried again the following month and on 12 July, returned to her start point having visited all the 214 summits in 6 days, 17 hours and 51 minutes, a route of 325 miles (523 km) involving 36,000 metres (118,000 ft) of ascent.
However, this was not claimed as a record for the challenge as she had received physical support because of knee problems ("I needed assistance down Clough Head to the Old Coach Road – I had to lean on little Dave to take the weight off").
[6][11] In September of that year, Mel Steventon became the first woman known to have run all the Wainwrights in a continuous journey, with a time of 13 days 12 hours.
"[13][4] She started a further attempt on 11 June 2021 and was successful, completing the tour of the Wainwrights in 5 days 23 hours 49 minutes and 12 seconds.
