For the ultra fans or ultracurious - this has been done for a few months but was only available if you paid to help GR defray the costs. Available on YouTube for all now:

"Where Dreams Go To Die is a documentary created by Ethan Newberry (The Ginger Runner) that follows Canadian ultrarunner, Gary Robbins, during his two attempts at completing The Barkley Marathons - a 100+ mile event many consider the toughest endurance run on Earth. Spanning more than 2 years, this journey is emotional, powerful and truly inspirational. Find out what it takes to attempt the impossible and the demons that follow. Learn the sacrifices that come with dedicating one's life to this endeavor. Follow our intimate look at why The Barkley is where dreams go to die."

Thanks for sharing - phenomenal athletes.

Along a similar vein, I just finished reading "The Pursuit of Endurance" by Jenifer Pharr Davis, who held the record for FKT (fastest known time) in completing the Appalachian Trail.
