The Barkley Marathons, The World's Hardest And Most Quirkiest 100-Mile Race


Though there are numerous ultramarathons, competitions that exceed running or walking the traditional 26.2 miles, very few compare to the Barkley 100. The annual event that challenges participants both mentally and physically has been completed by only 14 of the 1,100 total participants in its 30-year history. To put it in perspective, that is just two more than the number of people that have walked on the moon!
