The route changes every year and, as there is no GPS allowed, it is impossible to review. Any runners who manage to complete just three loops are awarded ‘fun run’ finisher status.
In reality the loops are more like 26-miles long meaning that anybody who completes all five will have covered 130 miles. The Barkley Marathons is made up of five 20-mile loops with more than 54,000 feet of ascent, each loop starts and finishes at the yellow gate where competitors and support teams make camp. If successful, you will receive a ‘letter of condolence’. Your application must include an essay detailing why you feel you should be allowed to race. You first need to find out when and where to send applications from a previous competitor. The race is restricted to just 40 entries and the first challenge is to be considered.
