Barclay Marathon's Brutal Legacy

Nick Bare shares a story about an extreme underground race in Tennessee called the Barclay Marathons.

"This race happens in Tennessee. There's 5 loops and it's run by this guy named Laz. You can't have a GPS watch, you don't have any sort of sense of where the route is. You're given a map and the map has points on it - there's no trail.

You're given a bib number, say your bib number is 13. On this map you have to go find all these points before you come back to the checkpoint. At each point on the map is a book, and you have to pull out the corresponding page with your bib number and bring it back to Laz after each loop to be able to go out and start again.

I think there were like 6 years where no one finished, no one won."

Sahil adds: "Yeah it's like 15 runners in 38 years."
