You can't accomplish anything without the possibility of failure. Brilliant!

[@dimi3po]

Gary, Gary, Gary, ... so good to see you kept this race going and even more thankful you failed to talk me into it back in the day.

[@09cokeefe]

just watched this on Netflix, holy shit. Incomprehensible, this race.

[@lisaguerriero9891]

Awesome trailer! Can't wait to see the final cut.

[@theramoz1]

respect to all

[@nunyabizness6812]

Absolutely amazing. Imagine if in order to graduate high school, every American student had to complete a course like this. Or to mark their 18th birthday, 20th birthday, etc. It's similar to the Native American tradition of a Vision Quest. Challenging the Mind, Body and Spirit to its absolute extremes in order to find something deep inside you didn't realize about yourself and the world. This is amazing. I wish all the best for the Barkley racers and hope that some day a woman will be able to complete this race. Wow!!!

[@pjbottoms8095]

Great documentary! I live in east TN and get tired of walking the trails in GSMNP with hordes of tourists with bear whistles. Lol.

[@barbieave5971]

One of the best documentaries i've seen this year. Thank you !

[@senorbailey5496]

At least my home state has something to be known for other than jack Daniels and it's wildlife

[@tokah01]

Dang so awesome.

[@EvilSecondTwin]

I WILL compete and complete in this race…mark my words!

[@Dermit15]

EvilSecondTwin you win yet?

[@EvilSecondTwin]

Not yet. But, look at that stupid race!?! IT's hard because only Senior Citizens (mostly) compete. Don't worry, I'm still training to win that garbage.

[@JOTG2000]

He looks like Donald Sutherland.

[@resoloser]

[@JustnCas3]

Just watched it and what a journey that marathon is. I was wondering who sings the song you guys play at the end of the documentary?

[@JustnCas3]

[@dannye3325]

"it ranks amongst the best US races in Europe" 🤔😃

[@faenixfeather]

coxandcrendor brought you here?

[@lukam13545]

Dodjte vi u Srbiju i eto trnja de oces....:D

[@Bruce1983]

H613 JVS am guessing that's from the English man who completed the race. Source Simon Whistler

[@davehause8571]

No participation medals, Yes!!!

[@robertabbott2083]

GOT WORD ON A STORY, THAT ONLY THE CHOSEN FEW ARE ALLOWED TO ENTER. WITH LITTLE TO NO CHANCE OF FAILURE BEING A PRE -REQUISTE. I WOULD LOVE TO TRY MY HAND AT THE RUN. BUT NOT WITH THE HOLE OUTCOME RIGGED !!!!!!! " SEE YOU SOME WHERE ELSE. " [ RABID BOB]

[@Faraonqa]

Cant people just do their own race ?

[@elijahsmith6107]

so dramatic

[@holyhandgrenade5]

This seems like an awful lot of fun but I doubt they would let minors compete

[@omarrocks98]

All long distance runners all look the same. They either have that short, grey haircut or have messy hair with a beard and are both built the same

[@broakland2]

Absolutely loved this movie, got me motivated to do the SF marathon again, since that would be so easy compared to this. I love these guys!

[@sheltonfamilydentistryoffi947]

Loved this documentary!

[@Redvines69]

I like how he says nobody is going to be 8 minutes apart and then in the suggested videos to the side is a video about the guy who missed the end by 6 seconds :D

[@AnabellaSilva02]

Absolutely LOVED it!

[@jdstep97]

I am a native Tennessean and have always been involved in health and fitness events, but today (2.18.16) is the first day I've ever heard of the Barklay Marathons. I can't believe it. This place here in my own "backyard". And the place looks like it would be right out of the scene in a serial killer or alien abduction movie. I doubt I'd ever be a participant in this event, but I'd sure love to hear some folk talk who's attempted it.

[@13zontar]

Used to read about this in "Ultra Runner" magazine.😃

[@LEMEOIN27]

That guy at 4:58 looks alot like that dude Kai from this interview kzbin.info/www/bejne/mZzJc3qaj9SFlZI

[@markoblazney6360]

you're right...

[@thersten]

LEMEOIN27 HT looked familiar to me too but I don't think it's kai the hatchet wielding hobo

[@LEMEOIN27]

Yeah, I guess it was more wishful thinking than anything haha

[@Scolecite]

This isn't harder than race across america6

[@ceti302]

Se alguém quiser investir e tentar isso comigo

[@tjoldelk4239]

I bet you us natives could finish it. Im willing to try with a group of friends. If applicable

[@sariwis]

I loved the documentary, this race means so much to so many people, but for the inventor, at the end of the day is a meaningless race, he hasn't even tried. Formers and future racers give it it's true meaning, the mental challenge the struggle.
