Anyone with an interest in Ultra marathons or trail running should find this of interest...
The Barkley Marathons - one of the world's toughest ultramarathons, has
been held annually in the Frozen Head State Park, Tennessee, since 1987.
The
race is so brutal that, since the inception of the race, only 15 people
have managed to finish. Runners are to run five 20-mile loops, within a
60 hour time limit and with more than 20.000m of elevation change.
The course is unmarked, no electronic devices are allowed and most of the race is off-trail.
Out There - A journey to the Barkley Marathons is the story of Belgian ultrarunner Karel Sabbe, who holds the world records on two of the most epic trails in the world: the 4279km long Pacific Crest Trail and the 3500km long Appalachian Trail.
