Several of our members took part in the Arc of Attrition and the Arc 50 at the end of January, both of which are huge achievements!
The Arc of Attrition covers one hundred miles of the Cornish coast path from Coverack to the Eco Park in Porthtowan. The race started on Friday 27th January at 12.30 P.M., with a cut off of 36 hours. The race takes in some of Cornwall’s most dramatic coastline, as well as involving over 4000 metres of climbing. Steve Fuller, Neil Hayhurst and Melissa Nicholas all completed the full hundred miles.
One of our own, Naomi Connon, was the sweep runner from Coverack to Porthtowan, and also crewed for another runner overnight.
The Arc 50 is also a huge challenge, covering fifty miles of the coast path from the Minack to the Eco Park. The race started on the morning of Saturday 28th, at 8.30 A.M. Runners were treated to some stunning scenery, but also over 2,000 metres of climbing and a 15.5 hour limit to complete the entire route. The Hayle runners completing the Arc 50 were Jacob Gardner, Steve Wherry, Melissa Poultney, Gabrielle Hume-Rothery, Kelly Bills, and Sophie Howard.
A huge well done to everybody who ran the race, but also to all of our members who were out there crewing and tending to those running.
