Since 1986, the world’s best
ultrarunners have fought for a
spot in the Barkley Marathons
- a shape-shifting race through
160km
of unmarked trails
in the Appalachian mountains,
designed to break their spirit.
Our writer went to Tennessee to
witness a test of endurance that
only 14 people
had ever completed
The
Masochist’s
Marathon
