How it went
Hugh Tibbs won the 2026 Arc 100 in 19:10:09 and Anne-Sofie Pollestad won the women's race in 22:28:24. Kristian Jones won the Arc 50 in 07:09:41 and Gemma Hillier Moses won the women's race in 08:12:56.
The eleventh edition earned the name. Of the 630 runners who started the Arc 100, 370 did not finish and 261 did, so the race dropped more of its field than it kept. RUN247 reported brutal conditions in the closing kilometres, with Tibbs finding another gear to break clear; his winning margin over Simon Withers was four and a half minutes. The Arc 50 was gentler, finishing 435 of its 601 starters.
