ARCH TO ARC: AN EPIC TRIBUTE... is a moving, real-life story of personal endeavour and extreme endurance.In September 2008, a 27 year old steel-worker from Shropshire, Tom Beaver, set out to fulfil his ambition of becoming the youngest and fastest person to complete the unimaginably gruelling ‘Arch to Arc’ endurance triathlon; by far the toughest test of physical and mental stamina known to man.Join Tom as he runs the 87 miles from Marble Arch in London to Dover on the South Coast before doing epic battle against the English Channel and cycling 180 miles, to reach his goal, the Arc de Triomphe in Paris.Tom battles solo against the clock, against the elements and against the utter enormity of the challenge he has set himself.At the heart of this astonishing challenge lies a tribute to Tom’s late cousin, Blake, who went missing in 2005 whilst on a Sandhurst expedition in Chamonix.The pain that Tom pushes himself through echoes the anguish of this loss and the event transforms into something bigger and proves to be a cathartic process for Tom and his family who encourage him onwards.
