Barkley (2)
Alexis Berg
The Barkley is a unique, strange, and fascinating race. This hellish challenge is often described as impossible, having been completed by only 18 runners, about 1% of the participants. In March 2018, in Frozen Head State Park, Tennessee, Alexis Berg witnessed this extreme event.
He describes a runner lost in the morning mist, climbing the slope of Rat Jaw, the longest ascent of the Barkley. The mystical landscape and the difficulty of the race captivate Alexis, making this legendary race even more intriguing and formidable.
