A Fifth of a Barkley Marathon (at Frozen Head State Park)
The Barkley Marathon is a secret 100-mile ultramarathon race at Tennessee's Frozen Head State Park each year. They do 5 20-mile loops (with 10,000+ feet of elevation gain per loop) within 60 hours. Very few humans have ever finished the race in its 38-year history. We tried to do 1 (one/uno) loop (1 fifth of a Barkley Marathon) within the same amount of time. 20+ miles and 4,500 feet of elevation gain got us in the neighborhood of one loop of a Barkley Marathon. One Loop. Was. Plenty. Enough. For. Me.
