PS. I don't even know what the race really is. Is it the same distance every year? HOw in the hell does it not have a finisher many years. I don't get that. And did that fat guy who smokes who started it ever run it? How die he come up with the idea?

Strange to me that there are runners who aren't familiar with this event. Watch the documentary the Barkley marathons. It's really good and the haters on here are cringe.
A lot of narcissists can't seem to hang it up. Hell, two of them are running for president.
Trump and Biden are both narcissists in the same way Bekele and I are both runners.
(apologies to KB for the way the analogy lines up)
All politicians are narcissist to some degree. The difference is that some, like Bush, Obama and Biden, still retain an ability to commiserate with others. Trump, like Putin, is a sociopath who is incapable of feeling empathy for anyone. Forget strangers, he repeatedly throws close associates (I say associates because in his mind he has no “friends”) under the bus if it benefits him.
Nice video here of Jared Campbell (potential first ever 4-time finisher), waiting for Jasmin Paris (potential first ever female finisher) to start - she picks clockwise for lap 5.
Jasmin and Jared head off on their final loop for the Barkley Marathons. Is history in the making for 2024? #barkleymarathons #barkley #frozenheadstatepark #...

Should be an automatic DQ for Campbell for using an unauthorized device during competition. Has he been hiding his phone on him during all of those other finishes?

There is a LOT of info out there about this, but an Ultrarunning historian named Davey Crockett recorded a recent podcast with Laz where they talk about his running career and how he got into ultramarathons. It's interesting. Long story short, Laz was not elite, but he was likely better than many on this discussion board at running. His ability to create an interesting race is, however, second to none.

Laz even as a fat smoker was able to make it across the country on foot. Not many people could do that. He just happened to be a far better race director than runner kind of like Jamil Coury.
John Kelly's 3rd finish. Dude is an animal at these types of race. He's got a top 10 at Hardrock 100, some FKTs, a Spine Race finish and a DNF there (I believe) and a Tor Des Gants finish.
