The Arc of Attrition, now part of the UTMB World Series, featured challenging 100, 50, and 25-mile races in muddy Cornish coastal trails, with significant drop rates among participants. Noor Van Der Veen and Lewis Ryan won the 100-mile race, while Eleanor Davis and Tom Evans set new records in the 50-mile event. In Alabama, the Mountain Mist 50k presented a rugged course, highlighting remarkable performances, including Olympian Jenny Simpson who described the experience as chaotic yet exhilarating. Overall, these events signify an active and competitive start to the trail running calendar.
"This race is unhinged ... I hands-and-feet climbed UP A WATERFALL, crawled through a cave, hopped a fence, and ran until my legs felt like my quads were detaching from my femurs."
