He wound up back at the infamous yellow gate of the start/finish area about 19 minutes after Sanchez, in 58:42:23. Next was John Kelly, the 38-year-old local runner from nearby Boone, North Carolina, who became a two-time finisher and only the third person to record more than one successful finish. He tore out his page and got credit for completing the course in 58 hours, 23 minutes, and 12 seconds. The 32-year-old Frenchman thought he was doomed and returned to the yellow gate with the pages he had, only to find the book waiting for him at the finish. This year’s race was the first time that four runners began the rarely-experienced fifth loop and only the second time three runners completed the course, which is roughly 1 30 miles in length and includes about 63,000 feet of elevation gain, within the 60-hour time cutoff.Īurelian Sanchez was the first to finish the race, but not without encountering a bit of a challenge near the end after a day hiker removed one of the books, believing the race was over. So did Jasmine Paris, even though she didn’t last quite as long as her male counterparts in what was one the best and most exciting editions of this small, quirky, and extremely grueling race yet.
In fact, 6 they have 6 attempts between the two of them! What you may not know is that we have two people from the Rochester Area that have run Barkley. And if you are a silly person, you might even be thinking that you DO want to run Barkley someday. You may have heard of a little Netflix documentary called "Barkley, the Race that eats its young" and if you are a trail or ultra runner, you may have even been asked if you ever ran or want to run Barkley.
