What Barkley Marathons Reveals About Ultrarunning

What Barkley Marathons Reveals About Ultrarunning

If you've ever wanted to understand how Lazarus Lake thinks, not just the Barkley Marathons legend, but the man behind every race he's ever designed, this is the episode you've been waiting for.

Josh spent a day at Laz's home in Tennessee walking the trails of Big's Backyard Ultra and talking through his entire race catalog: Big's and Little's Backyard, the Barkley Marathons, the Fall Classic, Race for the Ages, the Idiot's Run, and more. What came out of it is a portrait of someone who believes that if no one can fail, no one can truly succeed.

For ultra runners who follow the sport deeply and want to understand the mind that built it.

Presented by Kiprun.

With support from Like the Wind Magazine + Hyperlyte Liquid Performance.
