Ich habe mir diesen Dokumentarfilm angesehen, nachdem er hier in einem Beitrag über eine Irin, die diesen Marathon lief, empfohlen wurde. Gemischte Kritiken/Meinungen zum Dokument und zum Rennen selbst in diesem Originalbeitrag. Ein ähnliches Thema ist der Organisator und seine seltsame Ausstrahlung. Ich dachte, er wäre nur ein exzentrischer Typ, wie diese Leute normalerweise sind. Auf jeden Fall ein tolles Dokument, es hat mir gefallen, ich kann es nur empfehlen.

Once you get into the barkley marathons rabbit hole you never get out. Karel Sabbe „out there“ on YouTube is excellent, and „the finisher“ about Jasmin Paris (also on YouTube) is also great
I’m not a runner myself, it was a mild curiosity from the descriptions on the original post. Great doc though thoroughly enjoyed it. From what I read I thought the organizer guy had a sinister undertone to him but I didn’t see that – just eccentric is all. I see the first female to complete the Barkley did it this year or last I believe!
Such a brilliant underseen documentary
Look out for the Gary Robbins featured Doc on Youtube. This place haunted him!
It’s an interesting concept and the doc itself is fantastic, but yeah the host is genuinely complete weirdo who views himself as royalty in how he engages with other people, to the point that you’d think he was the one to invent competitive running.
The 2026 one finished last week. No winner. There was an irish girl competing, i think she finished the first coursew
