Discover Cornwall, the home of Arc of Attrition by UTMB
Cornwall is a place shaped by the sea. From dramatic cliffs and sandy beaches to historic fishing villages, ancient landscapes and rugged moorland, there is plenty to discover beyond the Arc of Attrition start and finish lines.
Whether you are travelling to Cornwall to take on the Arc 100M, Arc 100K, Arc 50K or Arc 20K, or joining as a supporter, make time to explore the landscape that makes this corner of the UK so special.
Cornwall offers something for everyone, from surfing and coastal walks to historic sites, local food and some of the UK's most spectacular scenery.
Explore the Cornish coast
With hundreds of miles of coastline to explore, Cornwall is made for getting outside. Follow sections of the South West Coast Path, discover secluded coves and beaches, or simply take in the views across the Atlantic.
The North coast is known for its dramatic cliffs, sandy beaches and powerful waves, while the south coast offers sheltered coves, fishing harbours and quieter stretches of coastline.
The Arc of Attrition takes runners through some of Cornwall's most spectacular coastal landscapes, making the journey to the event an opportunity to experience the coast for yourself.
