UTMB Arc of Attrition 50 Race Review: aggressive eating, cut off anxiety and the perks of a pre-race sauna 👌🏼
This week, Jon and Amie chat about their experience running the Arc 50 2025, their first event of the year and part of the UTMB Arc of Attrition event weekend. The race goes point-to-point from The Minack Theatre, Porthcurno to Porthtowan, along the stunning South West Coast Path.
They give a run down of their training, the most useful bits of kit, the race weekend, route and lessons from the trail.
