Listen Later

And here we are, SEASON FINALE, and we're off to Cornwall. Unchartered territory for your dynamic duo!

On the eve of the 2024 edition of the Arc of Attrition we were mega chuffed to snare a sit down chat with the uber busy Andrew 'Fergy' Ferguson, one of the race directors. It makes for a fitting close to an epic season.

In customary fashion we first find out about Fergy the runner, quite some CV of races and adventures is uncovered with a wanderlust to explore new places with pals massively apparent.

The ARC, now considered as one of the winter classics, then takes centre stage and Fergy give us a wonderful insight into the history of the race, the logistics involved in staging it in often challenging conditions and recounts some of his own memories of past event highlights.

With tales of 78% DNF rates, the best starting location to any race in the UK and a huge nod to the race volunteers (The Arc Angels!) this is definitive listening with Fergy's passion for the sport and for putting on unforgettable experiences abundant throughout. We finish up with a quick preview for this years race as runners prep for the off!

Be warned, once you catch this episode you'll find yourself hovering over the enter now button for 2025. And you know just what to do? Get that button pressed!

Season 9? It's a wrap!!
