Arriving in fifth place at mile 84.5 is Stephanie Case just behind Amber. She is 5h53 minutes off the lead and seemed spry with a hint of having been running for 26 hours. She ate some pizza with gusto and left really stoked on her donut. #HR100

Stephanie Case (The North Face) takes fifth at the 2025 Hardrock 100 in 32:53:16. She kisses the rock with her wee one in her arms. Our pre-race chat with Stephanie: i-rn.fr/25HR100-Stephanie #HR100

Just three minutes after fourth, Stephanie Case is fifth in the women's race at Mineral Creek (mile 100.5), 6h51m back from the front. She looked strong, and her pacer asked about gaps to the other women. #HR100

A heads up from the Hardrock finish... it looks like we could have the quite the race to the line for third through fifth in the women's race. Tune in! i-rn.fr/25HR100-LiveVideo #HR100

How do you win a 100K race while breastfeeding? Ultra-runner @runningcase shares how she balances being an athlete and new mom for this week's "OT Diaries."

#Afghanistan: at the @UN Human Rights Council, @SR_Afghanistan Richard Bennett called on the Taliban to reverse its system of gender oppression that deprives women and girls of their fundamental rights. #HRC56

RT @UNLazzarini: The scenes coming out of #Rafah last night are harrowing. Reports of more casualties continue to come in following an Isr…

In this week's Bulletin: @FA & @BarclaysWSL mandate action on women athlete's health, #Mexico's professional softball league a 1st in Latin America, football clubs to rally the vote in London & @FreeToRunNGO to hold The Safe Marathon on #IWD2024. 📰: bit.ly/4bUPbIK

I'm appalled by reports of military raids in Al Shifa hospital in #Gaza. The protection of newborns, patients, medical staff and all civilians must override all other concerns. Hospitals are not battlegrounds.

"We have more than 60 of our installations that have been hit - 70% of these installations were in the south" @UNLazzarini tells @BeckyCNN the 3 direct hits to @UNRWA facilities yesterday from Israeli Force naval strikes are yet another indication that nowhere in #Gaza is safe.

UN staff in #Afghanistan observe a minute of silence and the @UN flag is lowered to half-mast, as we mourn the more than 100 colleagues killed in Gaza – the highest number of UN aid workers killed in a conflict in the history of our organization. #NotATarget

Today, @UNLazzarini led a service in memory of our 59 colleagues killed in📍#Gaza since 7 October. Every day is becoming a dark day for the @UN and @UNRWA as the number of our colleagues killed increases. Unspeakable suffering continues to come out by the hour from Gaza.

"We are now reducing fuel we're using everyday, so we can keep the most critical services running for as long as possible" @TomWhiteGaza tells @BBCNews about the deteriorating situation [aired Oct 25] As of Oct 27, we've lost most of our communications with colleagues in📍#Gaza

Civilians, including humanitarian workers, must be protected. Every single one of my colleagues had a name, a story, a family, and a history of serving others. This should never happen. And yet the death toll keeps rising.

I repeat my call for a humanitarian ceasefire in the Middle East, the unconditional release of all hostages, and the delivery of life-saving supplies at the scale needed. Everyone must assume their responsibilities. This is a moment of truth. History will judge us all.
