The Barkley Marathons - Larry Kelley speaks to Young Hearts Run Free Podcast - Season 7 Eps 18

The Barkley Marathons. From the mind of a genius has spawned a phenomenon. We’ve been lucky to chat to some guests about taking part in Barkley. But what about behind the scenes?
We’re joined by Larry Kelley to find out. Larry has the privilege to see the Barkley going-ons through a very different lens than most. He’s part of the extensive event team who together make the Lazarus Lake magic happen.

Larry, a seasoned ultra-runner in his own right with multiple finishes on his CV tends to follow his ‘a lot of stupid in me’ moto. This is a man who run all the way across Iowa after all, just the 310 miles!

We’re treated to an unprecedented insight as Larry respectfully lifts the lid into not only the Barkley Marathons but also the Barkley Fall Classic. The routes, the characters, the challenges along with some sensational stories from his time supporting the races in Frozen Head State Park.

Larry gives us his take on what attributes make a Barkley starter a good candidate to become a Barkley finisher. He dishes out tips and anecdotes galore. It’s gold. So is Larry who describes the races as magical, is there another race on the planet requires athletes to show aggressive patience??! What even is aggressive patience?!?
Strap yourself in. Larry delivers in spades.
Warning, after listening you may find yourself checking out ways to get to Tennessee. We know we are!
