Barkley Marathons 2026 is Underway

Way earlier in the year than usual the Barkley Marathons kicked off this morning – happy Valentine’s Day, I suppose.

The Resources section on the website: barkley.ferrett.io has a bunch of useful links to stay up to date, especially for folks who don’t want to log into the shit hole Twitter/X, which still hasn’t been replaced as the official communication platform.

PS: There’s a rumor floating around that Kilian Jornet might be running Barkley this year. This obviously would be massive news. I immediately shared it when I thought I had enough confirmed information about it, but it might not actually be the case… I will try to get to the bottom of this.
