Is Barkley Marathons the toughest race in the world: March 21 2025

avatar

Well, my photo is not the yellow gate at Frozen head state park in Tennessee, but it does have an interesting baby stick insect on it. Our gate heads into a bit of a nature reserve, but it does seem like anything compared to the Barkley Marathons course that Gary Cantrell, also known as Lazarus Lake, organises each year.

This year's 2025 event has just ended with no one able to finish. 5 people finished last year, including the first ever female. Mr Cantrell was always going to make it harder. Reports I have read said he added another 45 minute section with no extra time in the race his argument is if science, tech and equipment is making it easier he will make this 40 strong invitation race only harder. LOL

There is no official coverage of this multi loop race with lots of very unique rules. You can find lots of info on YouTube and instragram if you want to know all the detail. There used to be a good doco on netflixs called Barkley Marathons, the race that eats it young, but it seems to be gone now.

The contestant would put my activity count to shame, but I am happy with my 30k plus day of exercising and work.

Maybe I will have a crack at the Barkley next year
