## Resource

Three years ago I started asking people about a race in the woods of eastern Tennessee that almost nobody finishes. I couldn't stop. In forty years, the Barkley Marathons has been finished twenty-six times. No GPS. No aid stations. No published start time. An entry fee of a dollar sixty. And every year, forty people go in anyway. I went to find out why. The Barkley: A Love Story — a three-part audio documentary from Hiker Trash Radio — drops in two weeks. Episode One: "I Discovered It" Episode Two: "The Edge of Possible" Episode Three: "They Figured It Out" Link in bio. #TheBarkley #BarkleyMarathons #HikerTrashRadio #HikerTrash #bm100
