Welcome to the Barkley Marathons, a fever dream of an ultra event,
inspired by a prison break, heralded by a conch blast, paid for in
cigarettes and socks, and completed only by a select few. A race in
which competitors haul themselves up mountains, through extreme
weather conditions, beyond pain and exhaustion, mile after mile,
loop after loop, day after day. Completed 60 miles? Buddy, that's
just the fun run. Journalist and ultrarunner Michiel Panhuysen is a
multiple-time Barkley entrant, having fallen under the spell of
this most enigmatic of races - and its presiding
philosopher-genius-organizer Lazarus Lake - in the early 2010s. On
each occasion, the Barkley won. The Barkley nearly always wins. In
the Spell of the Barkley is a story of sporting obsession,
exploring what drives individuals to challenge themselves at the
limits of what is possible - and what it takes to succeed.
