My third year as staff at the Barkley Marathons, as the Barkley chicken chef, and my first time seeing a finisher.

What a weekend. I was slow to post, but it was one hell of a week. 2023 was my third year as staff at the Barkley Marathons, and as the Barkley chicken chef, and it was a blast.

I felt humbled to be part of this race and to witness stunning performances by runners from around the world. It was also my first time seeing a finisher. I got to meet amazing people, and to share a part of my culture and tradition by sharing Indian cuisine.

At the yellow gate, 2023.
