The Salomon Serpent Trail has become one of my race highlights of the year and it's always great to go back and run on the stunning route. This year was no exception and the weather gods were very kind to us on the day, and I'd say it was near on perfect conditions. Having filmed at the race several times before, I thought this year we would go about it slightly differently. So myself and Liga ran the whole 50km together and along the way I tried to chat to as many other runners as I could to find out their running stories and we also wanted to highlight the route in a bit more detail. The video is definitely worth watching to the end because you don't want to miss out on one of the most inspirational running stories I've ever heard, get the tissues ready!
Really hope you enjoy the video, thanks for watching, we'll see you in the next video and as always - stay safe and keep on running!

I wonder how many, like me, did this as their first ultra after being inspired by your last Serpent Trail film (or even your film before that). I reckon there must be quite a few. This one captured the event superbly - beautifully produced as always. No doubt it'll convince a few more to give it a go next year. Nice one Loyd.

Hands up! I watched last years video while training for my first half (actually ran past this years Serpent Trail finish on a training run) and am poised and ready to sign up to next years 50k as my first Ultra. Can’t wait - looks an awesome atmosphere

Watching this made me cry! I've not long done my first trail marathon, and I have my first 50K at the end of October on Seven Sisters and the South Downs. I remember the AMAZING feeling of my Trail marathon, especially the wonderful friendly atmosphere, and one day I would like to do THIS 50k...thank you for the wonderful video !

@richardfranklin2913 2 жыл бұрын

Loyd, sums up perfectly everything that is great about the channel! The number of people at the event running their first 50k as a direct result of your creative and inspirational efforts is a fantastic testament for R4A. I've just ticked off the trail marathon so the 50k is next...

Really loved watching the video Loyd. Well done to both you & Liga for bringing us along and for taking the time to film so many other runners. Filming on the GoPro does take up time and effort but you always manage to smile have a friendly word for everyone.

Nice one, Loyd and Liga. Liked this one as it really captured the event atmosphere, peoples journey as well as the course. Nice change from other channels that just show someone running the course. Congratulations on finishing in style too! I think Liga proves my friends theory that it’s not one or 2 training sessions that get you to 50k but miles already in the legs from years of running and other events. Awesome 👏🙂

I can relate to Simon's story. I've only been running since 2020. Never done a marathon but I've signed up for a 50k local to me after seeing signs for the Chesterfield Round Walk during my runs. There's a race that mostly follows that route, called the Spire Ultra. I think survival will be the goal for that one! 😄👍🏻🏃‍♂️
