The Barkley Marathons

This was one of the more fascinating things I've watching in awhile. If you're into human endurance you may want to check this out.

I saw that recently. I liked how completing 3 loops (3 rugged marathons) is considered the 'Fun Run', but you haven't really reached elite status unless you've done all 5.

I like the start lighting a cigarette.

Yeah, this movie is awesome, and the event itself is super interesting and cool. I'd never heard of it and just stumbled onto the doc last week on Netflix. It's riveting, and I totally agree that everybody interested in endurance should check it out.:hello:

The 2016 was last weekend. Only one finisher, who became the first 3-timer. Local San Diegan, Nick dnf'd in the movie (the big young guy) but finished the next two years - nice guy, did not go this year.
