From chaos to quiet, until next year. The 2026 Barkley Marathons is in the books. Barkley won!

All quiet at Barkley Marathons HQ. An awesome Valentine’s Day in the woods, with my favourite friends, in Frozen Head. My tiny abode was a tent tucked in the woods, away from all the chaos of Barkley HQ, and it kept me warm and dry the entire time I was there.
