- The Mudcrew Arc of Attrition is a race that's very close to my heart with it being run on trails that I know so well. Having taken on this challenging 100 mile footrace 4 times before, I was fully aware of what it takes to make it all the way to the finish line in Porthtowan. Training hadn't gone to plan but I did manage to have a few more consistent months as we headed closer to the race. As I lined up on the start line, I was feeling pretty confident that I was mentally and physically prepared for what was to come and this is the story of how my Arc of Attrition 2023 unfolded.
Thanks for watching, we'll see you in the next video and as always - stay safe and keep on running!

Never commented on a CZcams video before, but wanted to say thank for capturing such a special moment for me (38:55 - the guy with the red bandana finishing).
Hard to put into words what a special experience this was, but you’ve captured the whole thing beautifully. Sad to hear the troubles between Lamorna and LE, I was in such a black hole during that section as well but luckily was on a high coming into LE or I’d have called it too… swings and roundabouts.
After saying never again, I promptly signed up to next years race, hopefully see you there 😊
Well done Sam. That’s something to be mega proud off!
No worries Sam, it was great to be there to capture your finish! 😊
It looked like you had an amazing support crew with you and it was so good to see the celebrations. Well done on your finish and thanks for watching the channel 🙏😊
Hi, Sam. I thought you were the winner of the race as I was watching the video. I've checked the results and found out that you were number 72. But anyway finishing this race is an achievement in itself.ź👍🥇
This was so inspiring. So upbeat and friendly to everyone no matter what. The world needs more Lloyds ❤
Cheers Karen, that's very kind 🙏
Really glad you enjoyed the video and thanks for watching and taking the time to comment, it's appreciated 😊
Just WOW! What an amazing film. You made me cry at the end - totally inspirational! I’m so sorry your race didn’t go to plan Lloyd, but I love that you made this about the other runners and their massive achievements. What an epic adventure, and I’m sure I’ll come back to watch this many times. Fantastic job Lloyd, Liga and all the Team! 👏❤️
Thanks so much for your kind words, they're really appreciated! Really glad you enjoyed the video and thanks for taking the time to comment, it's appreciated 🙏😊
Top drawer production values, on par with any professional running documentaries I've seen. It didn't work out this time but that's the sport we love. You shouldn't underestimate the number of people you inspire through your work and how many of us have the Arc on our wish list because of your excellent content (even though some of us are very unlikely to make the start line... you allow us to dream!)
Thanks for the great comment it's really appreciated. Thanks for watching and supporting the channel 🙏😊
Watching on my 4K 86” TV and the quality is amazing. Great job. 🇨🇦
Thanks very much, I'm glad you thought so 🙏😊
Smiling facies, friendly and supportive atmosphere. This is why I love trails and ultras.
To right, it's a great community! Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment it's appreciated 🙏😊
Well worth the wait, am I crazy but just watching your videos makes me want to run more.
That's great Sean, I'm glad the video makes you feel that way! Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment it's appreciated 🙏😊
Great film this.. gutted for you and your mate having to stop.. what a top bloke you are to bury your disappointment and film the finishers.. encouraging them to the line.. the chap in blue near the end you talked to ( the pork pie man) was the legend John hammond from the Wirral.. who has done some epic ultras.. great to see him on your film.. hope you go back next year and smash it..💙
Thanks Tommy, that's really appreciated! Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment 🙏😊
Loved this so much! It made me feel a bit emotional watching it and remembering such an epic day! Well done to you and John on a flipping awsome effort out there and for managing to capture this story while you were at it! I felt for John when he was struggling with the unexpected warmth, I also hadn't anticipated sweating quite so much! Thank you so much to you and Liga for putting this together, you've caught some beautiful moments and scenery in there so I'll be watching this many times I'm sure! See you next year for more Arc fun!!
Just watched the video and saw you featured in and then I saw this comment, just watching is mind blowing and you must have a massive sense of pride, great stuff Elena 👏👏
Thanks Elena 🙏
Really glad you enjoyed the video and it bought back some great memories, thanks for watching 😊
Ahh love it! Harry at the end is a local legend in Jersey, given me lots of support. So happy he got the finish, was just thinking would be cool if he popped up and bam at the end!
I actually spoke to Harry early in the video on the route Jeremy. He's a really nice guy and I'm so glad he got his finish! Thanks for watching 🙏😊
Inspiring, moving - what a wonderful movie. Thank you, Lloyd.
No worries, I'm glad you enjoyed the video and thanks so much for watching 🙏😊
Brilliant vid Loyd, just one of those days ! Anyone who racks up at the start to cover 100 miles, on THAT terrain ! Geez.....
Added pressure for you also, aiming to fulfil nutrition sponsor obligations. So when someone as experienced as you has the nouse to 'pull the plug', is what it is.
Kudos to you for supporting those at the finish.
Next time......
Great rendition of 'The Cure' girls 27.00 🎸
Really glad you enjoyed the video John. I'm not actually sponsored by Precision Fuel and Hydration. I just like their products and they were really helpful building up to the race. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment it's appreciated 🙏😊
Loyd - the story of a true champion - you! We always remember those DNFs; they’re a gift because we’ll be back at it, even stronger next time. As you will be!
Thanks Troy 👍
I'm definitely lining up next year and it will be a very different out come! Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment it's appreciated 🙏😊
Well done Lloyd, to you and all the other runners, marshals and supporters out there. This is a wonderful memory for yourself to look back on with pride and love, despite the outcome. Those decisions to pull out are the toughest and never get easier. Having been there myself, I fully understand turning the camera off in that moment. But then to continue and support the others and share their stories is truly a testament to your enthusiasm, support and love for this crazy sport we take on. A brilliant account and your video I'll return to many times once more before my first ARC attempt, next year, in 2024.
You really do capture, why we Run4Adventure!
Francois, I remember your film from the 2021 SDW100, I DNFd that year at 55 miles with injury and some heat stroke. You pushed on like a legend though. I'm also down for Arc100 in 2024, so see you there.
Thanks for your great comment, it's really appreciated. Hope training is going well and I'll see you on the start line in 2024! Thanks for watching 🙏😊
As someone who is within the last 6 months, getting back into running and is about to start trail running, this video is a huge attraction to give the 50 a go next year! Great footage there. Maybe see you there 2025!
That’s awesome to hear Adam, I’m glad you’re getting back into your running. Glad you enjoyed the video and hopefully see you at the Arc next year 👍🙂
This is the first time I've ever watched a CZcams video from start to finish. Thank you for this amazing video and well done.
That's awesome awesome to hear, so glad you enjoyed the video 👍
Thanks for watching 🙏
Awesome. Really enjoyed that Lloyd. And great to see Harry complete the Arc.
It sure was great seeing Harry get that buckle eventually! 🏃♂️💪
Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment it's appreciated 🙏
Brilliant watch Loyd. After the Barkleys last weekend I’ve gone down a rabbit hole of watching all things trail and ultra. Perfect timing, I’m sure next year will be different
Cheers Matt, really glad you enjoyed the video 🙏😊
I can't wait for the 'you and John smashed it' addition in 2024😊 amazing video hope it becomes your no.1 viewed content for all the hard work you all put into making it.
Cheers David, that's really appreciated. I'm definitely lining up next year and it's going to be a very different outcome 👍
Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment it's appreciated 🙏
Wondering when this film would hit the streets. You pull us along so well as spectators, point to point, day and night. It's hard not to feel apart of the experience. The disappointment is real and hopefully short lived. Great film! You will be back Lloyd! God Bless!
Thanks for the lovely comment Jeff, it's really appreciated. Glad you enjoyed the video and thanks for watching 🙏😊
Absolutely stunning work Lloyd. I’m sorry it didn’t go how you planned, but what you have created and shared captures the spirit of the race and the epic efforts that you and the other runners went to to try and get it done. DNF or otherwise, this is truly inspiring ❤ I hope to meet you there next year. Thank you for making and sharing this
Look forward to your Arc videos Mike, you also have a talent for producing great work.
Thanks very much, really glad you enjoyed the video. Hopefully see you there next year, thanks for watching 🙏😊
Amazing and inspiring film, really captured the event. You're one of the reasons I'll be footing the start line of this year's South West Traverse in a few weeks.
Thanks Dave, hope the SWT went well and you enjoyed the race 👍😊
@@Run4Adventure Thank you, I actually managed to get around the Traverse this year!! Super pleased 😀
@@DaveBettens Well done Dave, it's a tough route and it catches a lot of runners out 👏👏
Some of the very best videography I’ve seen on a CZcams running channel. Congratulations to all your filming crew & yourself in putting together an awesome account of the Arc. Tough that the body let you down but I know you’ll reflect & come back next year even more determined.
I'm glad you thought so Roger! We had a great team out on the day capturing the race as it unfolded and it wouldn't be possible without them! Thanks for watching and supporting the channel its really appreciated 🙏😊
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
No worries Charles 👍

Cheers Tim, really glad you enjoyed the video and thanks for watching and supporting the channel 👍😊
great footage - love it / keep going ... greetings from Vienna
Thanks Tobias, gkad you enjoyed the video and thanks for watching 🙏😊
Great story told very well, I sometimes consider doing this race but just don't think I have enough 'want' in me to get to the end. I'll have to stick to enjoying those trails in daylight and leave the ARC to those who love the challenge. This video shows so well how tough it is, even when you looked so fresh after 20 miles
You definitely need the 'Want' to finish races like the Arc Richard. If you don't really really want that finish it will eat you alive! 😊
Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment it's appreciated 🙏
Next year, my dude. Great video!
Thanks very much 🙏😊
Great video as usual. Love how even though you didn't get to the end, you went back and helped others, top man 👏 your attitude and positivity is an inspiration to us all LLoyd 👍
Wow..awesome race and superb filming. 🎉
Thanks Christian, really glad you enjoyed the video 🙏😊
Thank you Loyd - great watch and enjoyed following your journey. Your positivity is a inspiring.

Glad you enjoyed the video Adam, thanks for watching 🙏😊
Crikey...
I'm supposed to be working this evening...but I couldn't stop myself from watching this video...and I'm so glad I did. Epic stuff, wonderfully filmed.
Huge kudos to you Loyd - sorry it didn't go to plan, but your story is perhaps even more inspiring thanks to your sharing the lows as well as the highs.
Thank you... keep on..happy running!
🤛
Thanks for the great message Ed, it's really appreciated 🙏😊
Well worth the wait 💪😎 awesome movie from an awesome runner and vlogger 🤘😎

Captured the drama and emotion of it so well Loyd, superb 👍
I glad you think so, thanks for watching 🙏😊
Why the heck am I sitting here getting emotional!! Great race vid Loyd. You will complete it, you know it and I know it.
Right, kit on and out into the rain!
Really glad you enjoyed the video Stuart, thanks for watching and I hope you had a good run 🙏😊
Good thanks Loyd. Nice and wet! If it ain’t raining, it ain’t training!🤣🤣
Absolutely awesome film and you have made it so it highlights things can change so quickly. Thank you for doing the end part of the film which would I assume would have been bitter sweet watching them finish. Look forward to seeing you nail it in 2024
That's great to hear, I'm so glad you enjoyed the video and thanks for watching 🙏😊
Amazing film. Smash it out next year Lloyd.
Thanks Alan 🙏😊
A wonderful piece of work Lloyd .. well well worth the wait , you and your small team should be very proud of that production,

Thanks Chris, really glad you think so and thanks for watching 👍😊
Nice touch to this one Lloyd 👌👏
Cheers Richard, glad you enjoyed the video and thanks for watching 🙏😊
Brilliant sir brilliant! I am very appreciative that you took the time to put this film together! So many others would have left this story behind untold. Inspiring as always, looking forward to the sequel! 🤩
Not a chance, you have to show the highs and the lows of running Ultras. At the end of the day these long races don't always go to plan and you have to learn from it and move on. Really glad you enjoyed the video William and thanks so much for watching and taking the time to comment it's appreciated 🙏😊
Have been waiting for this one. Just as important to see when things don’t go to plan. Love how you keep it real. Beautiful footage and storytelling.
Totally agree, you have to show the highs and the lows and sometimes things don't go to plan 👍
Really glad you enjoyed the video and thanks for watching and taking the time to comment it's appreciated 🙏😊
Fantastic video, the race videos you do are so good and really capture the emotions of such a race. Good luck with your next race.
Thanks Dan, really glad you're enjoying the Content on the channel and thanks for watching 🙏😊
Amazing! What an incredibly emotional and well produced documentation of a truly inspiring race. Thank you so much for sharing this and putting this together. Just brilliant!
No worries Chris, thanks for watching! Really glad you enjoyed the video 👍😊
Great video, wow
Really glad you enjoyed the video and thanks for watching 🙏😁
Thanks for the excellent production. We realy enjoyed watching. Amazing effort both maybe next time 😊

Amazing film Loyd.
I love running and I love the Cornish coast path but…. running 100 miles on it, I just can’t imagine how people do it and in the dark!
Amazing 👏🏼
Thanks very much, really glad you enjoyed the video and thanks for watching 🙏😊
Amazing video, you’ve brought the emotion to thousands of viewers.
Cheers Tony, really glad you enjoyed the video and thanks for watching 👍

Cheers Scott, really glad you enjoyed our Arc video! Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment it's appreciated 🙏😊
Outstanding production Lloyd, sorry that yourself and John did not get the result you were aiming for, can make you feel gutted no matter how you rationalise it; absolutely delighted to see that number 212 finished💪 Loved that you went back out to film and encourage the runners on👏👏
Thanks very much, really glad you enjoyed the video 🙏😊
Great video, Lloyd. So pleased that Harry got there, good on him

Great video. Thanks for producing it. I find the kit reviews very useful but the occasional long form like this is really inspiring.
Cheers Peter, glad you enjoyed the video and thanks for watching 🙏
I'm so pleased you finally put out this video, I've been waiting to see just what happened to you, and while I'm really sorry you weren't able to finish, you've managed to produce a phenomenal video that was WELL worth the wait! What an epic looking race, and what a well-rounded account of the highs and lows not just of your race, but of multiple other competitors, phenomenal job! You've also inspired me to want to do the Arc as it looks like the most incredible and challenging experience. Really looking forward to watching your progress in the Reading half marathon training, good luck on Raceday!
Thanks for the lovely comment Mark, it's really appreciated. I'm glad our video has inspired you to take on the Arc one day, it's an incredible event and I'm sure you'd love it! Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment it's appreciated 🙏😊
Im 5mins in and 😢 crying already this video is very special work mate
Thanks very much that's really appreciated. I'm glad you enjoyed the video and thanks for watching and taking the time to comment 🙏😊

Thanks Nico 🙏
Really glad you enjoyed the race video 😊
Excellent video Loyd, so well put together and thank you to the rest of your team as without them it wouldn’t have been possible to have made such a quality presentation.
Thanks very much, really glad you enjoyed the video! You're right, none of this would have been possible if it wasn't for having a great team out on the day 👍
Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment it's appreciated 🙏
Beautiful film, cast of characters and location. Might have to head across the pond for that one. Cheers Loyd.
It's a fantastic race Dave, you should definitely pop over and give it a go! Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment it's appreciated 🙏😊
Wonderful account and footage. Even knowing the outcome, still choked me.
Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for watching 🙏😊
