THE BARKLEY MARATHONS: THE RACE THAT EATS ITS YOUNG
Every year, 40 international runners descend upon a small town in Tennessee to test their mental and physical limits against the Barkley Marathons. Devised as a mockery of James Earl Ray's historic prison escape gone awry, the race has seen only 10 finishers in its first 25 years. The race's cofounder Lazarus Lake is as weird, unpredictable, and irresistible a character as the idiosyncratic event he has created. With a secret application process, unknown start time, and treacherous terrain, the Barkley has gained cultlike status with ultrarunners and amateurs alike. This awardwinning, oddly inspiring, and wildly funny documentary invites you to the sports world's most guarded secret; where pain has value, failure is spectacular, and it only costs $1.60.
