130 or so miles in length, though no one knows for sure / 210km There have only been 14 unique finishers in 30 years! Two runners have finished twice. Absolutely one of the toughest physical challenges on the planet. The Coles Notes (Google Coles Notes if you didn't exist before Google) If you don't know Barkley, here's the wiki link and more importantly here's a great way to kill 90 minutes by viewing the highly entertaining recently released documentary, "The Barkley Marathons, The Race That Eats Its Young", which was recently released to Netflix for FREE! if you tell the world that you will be running, do not be surprised to find your heirs requesting that you bequeath them favored items among your possessions, and making inquiries about the location of your valuables. however, if you wish to make any public statement about your acceptance into the race that is your choice. this way, you may be allowed to fail quietly, without anyone ever knowing. In order to protect your privacy, we will not announce your entry to the race on any public forum. please do not pay any attention to information from anyone other than myself on this list, as the barkers of the past may have been mentally damaged during their attempts to run the race, and are no longer reliable. this is the medium thru which I will pass along any information related to the race. Otherwise, please respond with an acknowledgement that you indeed wish to participate, and (if you are not already on the barkley mailing list) write to NOT TELLING YOU to request to be added. there are many other unfortunate fools suffering from the delusion that they *want* to participate in this hopeless endeavor. Should the unfortunate mental condition which led to your application for the 2016 barkley marathons improve, you might still escape by simply writing me and asking that your slot be passed along to some other unfortunate fool. Update your will, visit with friends and relatives, and otherwise tie up any and all loose ends. however, it would probably be better to spend this time putting your affairs in order. You may, if you so desire, spend the intervening months between now, and april in a futile attempt to perform sufficient training to enable yourself to cover a greater distance before your ultimate demise. at best, you might escape without incurring permanent physical damage and psychological scarring, which will torment you for the remainder of your life. It is anticipated that this enterprise will amount to nothing more than an extended period of unspeakable suffering, at the end of which you will ultimately find only failure and humiliation.
It is my unfortunate duty to inform you that your name has been selected for the 2016 barkley marathons, to be held on april 2-4, 2016, at frozen head state park, in the state of tennessee, usa. And on Feb 29th no less, that's gotta be a good omen on some level.
