Sights & Sounds | The 2021 Barkley Marathons
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 12 апр 2021
- Some call it impossible. Notoriously difficult, the Barkley Marathons is the ultimate test for world-class ultra runners looking to explore the extreme limits of their physical and mental abilities. In March 2021, 35 runners returned to Wartburg, Tennessee, to chase five loops and search for hidden books in the rigorous wilderness of Frozen Head State Park.
Every Barkley has its own set of challenges, and this year's race was no different: frigid temperatures, dense fog, torrential rain and an early start time made 2021 one of the most difficult Barkley's in recent history. Despite a heavily talented field of world-class runners including Jamil Coury, Courtney Dauwalter, Maggie Guterl and many more, only two runners (Jared Campbell and Luke Nelson) would go on to achieve the "Fun Run." There were no finishers.
Enjoy the sights, sounds and stories from this year's race, which returned to Frozen Head State Park after the event was cancelled in 2020 due to COVID-19. A sincere and special thank you to Jamil Coury for making this opportunity possible, and to Lazarus Lake for allowing me to share the Barkley Marathons experience.

best Barkley film, no cheezy music, just the sound of the rain it really puts you there!
I loved the documentary though. I didn’t know what the Barkley was before I saw that film. I’ve enjoyed sharing it with friends who hate the typical film.
but the black and white video? yeesh
Couldn't agree more! The overblown epic soundtracks on most ultra/enduro films is often so cringe.
Agree
I think that most will agree that one of the things (or people) that was missing the most this year was Gary Robbins. Man I can't wait to see this guy finally finishing it!
He was greatly missed this year. Hope to see him attempt the race again soon.
He want to do it in 2022. This year, the race was reserved for american people because of Covid
@@marius8648 yeah I watched his video where he explained why he decided no to come this year. Even if you'd completely disregard the risk about covid, financially it'd be crazy expensive to do it so I completely understand. But I believe it 100% if Kevin says that he was greatly missed!
@@michaelfedora I haven't watched this yet but I was wondering why it would be expensive? Do you mean running it? Don't the participants pay an entry that should cover costs ? Looks like pure torture. Im interested.
@@harrygrimley4352huge cost risk because of compulsory hotel quarantine when returning to Canada from States which would be at least $2000 (three days hotel quarantine) or 14 days if tested positive for covid on return (so $10k+). If not allowed on the return plane to Canada due to possible positive test he'd have to pay for US health care and I don't even want to start guessing how much that would be and as far as I know could be in tens of thousands (if not hundreds of thousands, I'm not even kidding). I'm in the UK and same as Canada we have a free health care. Hopefully we can see Gary next year when everything calms down!

Amazing how humble Courtney’s approach is.
That's just Courtney
Love Courtney!
I am beyond excited that Courtney Dauwalter is finally competing! This year's Barkley was tough but I have no doubt that if she competes in future years she'll do really well.
She’ll take it for sure and I can’t wait.
Frances. Any idea how she did?
@@harrygrimley4352 only did 2 laps
@@samsterlicious864 not even 2 seems cuz the vid says only 2 guys finished loop 2
She’s a beast
“Is everybody ready for fun time?” Most ominous words ever spoken.
Really nice work Kevin. There’s a beauty in the simplicity of this film, and you captured some incredible sound bites.
Thank you for watching 🙏
Love this kind of Barkley coverage, shows the toughness but also the great and profoundly human story behind it. Maybe one day I'll earn a spot...out there! Thanks for the good work!
Longer version please! That was wonderful
Thank you for the awesome video. Love to see and feel the atmosphere. Great athletes. And again no finisher. Barkely remains the challenge.
A brilliant piece of work absolutely capturing the essence of the Barkley. For me, with many events claiming "the toughest....." this is easily the actual toughest. So many incredible athletes that don't make it show just how extreme this unique and eccentric race is. I am in awe of anyone who lines up to start. And of the legend that is Lazarus. Great film thank you.
The last few shots on the picnic table of the horn, book, smokes, was very Wes Anderson and I loved it
Absolutely beautiful work. Great job and the choice to go with black and white was a great one.
Thanks Kevin. This was awesome!!! Beautiful cinematography.
Thanks for putting this out there. I enjoyed it a lot, and I'm glad that there was something to see from this race in 2021.
brilliant documentary, great energy and filming thank you 🙏
Great documentary! Great footage! Seems like the weather was a huge factor. I was surprised when I saw the gentleman at the beginning of the film, Noé Castañón, Him and I ran together briefly toward the end of Wasatch 100 this year. He is a very cool, humble person. I really enjoyed the time I had to talk with him during the race. I'm glad to see he had the opportunity to run this race. Thanks for sharing.
Beautiful, man. Such a great video. Hope it gets the attention it deserves.
Awesome how you caputered this year chapter of the great Barkley story! Raw and inspiring how people pushes their limits.
Thank you!
Wow, the B&W really works for this! Awesome video, hope to see more from you in the future!
Beautifully done Kevin. Thank you for sharing your talents with us.
Never a good sign when it's pouring rain before the start of the Barkley
Love your style, great shots and editing
Especially beautiful video of the woods and sections of the course and the weather. Ah, the weather - the very epitome of the uncertainty Lazarus Lake talks about at the beginning. Thank you Kevin!
The ending. Nice choice
This. .........this. Incredible.
This video is going to blow up. So good.
Great display of the Barkey!! Loved it
Thanks for sharing! Owesome!
Excellent film. Thanks.
Spot On Masterpiece!
Thank you for this 😊
What a crappy year! Love the dedication and determination of these lunatic athletes.
This is a beautiful film. Wonderful capture Kevin.
Just perfect
Laz is one of the people I most admire with what he’s created and what he’s achieved. That rain though. Thank you for this film.
Add Jared to the list. Glad he came back.
Very nice videography. Love the editing.
this was lovely. great film.
beautiful work Kevin!!
stunning weather
Jamil shaking his head in disgust at the watch hahaha I was just east of there that weekend visiting family. the weather was ridiculous. That seemed to expedite people dropping. Crazy.
The laugh at the end 🤣
I love it, the raind and the wes anderson style
love the aesthetic in this, more please! :)
Amazing video. Thanks!
Great video, Kevin. Looking forward to more.
Absolutely the Best video whatI ever seen😊
Muchas Felicidades Kevin por tu trabajo🔥 de filmación y edición de este gran evento, impecable trabajo! 👌🏽
Muchas gracias! Es muy amable de tu parte
Great job!
The hardest race in the world. Hands down. You have to be the complete package in all aspects to do the “100” miler aka like 120 plus miles. Absolutely unbelievable even the “fun run” finishers.
great video, thanks!
Great Job! Good film!
The cinematography is very nice
Very well done video. 👍🏼
The Barkley is absolutely fascinating. The watch this year just adds to the madness and the weather!!! 🌧🌧🌧 Jesus😂
I’m so excited that Courtney decided to take on Barkley!! Hopefully next year she can crush it!
Some years, the Barkley needs to win too. That's why it's so special.
The weather for this race is so unpredictable...its looks like your decending into hell lol
beautiful
This was very cool!👏
Beautiful film. Really enjoyed it!
Yo Ryan, have you ran the Tecumseh trail? I’m looking at it real hard.
@@JonJosephKuhn yes!! I’ve ran the marathon there a couple times, the trail is great!
Many thanks!
Great work Brother.
Keep at it 💪🏻
Thank you!
Love the bottle of Moxie !!!!
Great Video. I want to run out there some day
Definitely Black and white is perfect for this race. Loved it.
Kevin. Thanks for sharing this. I didn't know that they did it this year. Am I a bit demented to think I should give this a try ?
Awesome
its not shot in black and white. thats actually how it looks at the barkley.🤣
😂 yes, no vibrancy or fun allowed. Thanks for watching!
@@kevinlaraphoto 🤘♾
13,000th like. Many more will follow.
Great group of people, united for a purpose. A crazy purpose but still.
In the year 2021, the Barkley won, no finisher, no excuses.
I need to run in this.
This is only your second movie?!? I mean, your channel* is almost empty … What an entrance :D Great. Thank you. (‚Channel‘ may not be the right word; it’s translated from German. Sorry)
I am quite certain I will never try to run the Barkleys, and I know in my heart I will never finish that race. My need for uncertainty has its limits. Some people are just bigger than me.
This race could be the next blair witch project, 😉
Kind of late to the party but has Kilian Jornet ever competed in this race? If not, it would be amazing to see.
Courtney's humility impresses me
Does David Goggins know about this race?
He talked about in in one of the jre podcasts
Assistir mais não entendi mais tá valendo tmj train run aqui Brasília DF riacho fundo 1.Trilha dos tonéis.
When suburban XC hipsters turned ultramarathon runners move to major US urban centers, then to Seattle, Boulder or Portland for more greenery and fresh air, then to Asheville to later finally fnd the Barkley Marathon. But they're there only for 60 or so hours. Then back to Seattle, Boulder or Portland.
Why isnt this released on non-digital film?
Rumour has it Gary Robbins is training like an animal for the 2022 version.
very Wes
05:17, dude thinking «why the f am i here again?»
@david goggins should run this...
They say there is no such thing as bad weather ,only the wrong clothes, however I feel that the weather this year was BAD!!!
Can't blow shell, "there losing time" lol
How did Courtney do. Anyone?
She finished two loops but after the cut-off time. She finished with Maggie Guterl, Jamil Coury and Liz Canty
Barkley won this year
who gave him the Moxie?
Everyone did. It was the race entry this year.
@@kevinlaraphoto interesting thanks..I wonder what the Maine connection might be cause well I just moved here and it's the only place I've ever seen it
@@joejoe-ds8xr I think that was the point, there’s no connection in particular, it’s just incredibly hard to find. Just another obstacle for the racers to figure out before the race even starts!
I don’t get it ! the man with the beard looks like he hasn’t run a day in he’s life not to be rude . But who is he ?
He is Lazarus Lake, the founder of the Barkley Marathons. He is one of the original ultrarunners, and now a full-time race director. He’s run for many days and many miles.
@@kevinlaraphoto didn't he himself say that he would never attempt the Barkley though. Not to fault him. He is an icon
@@LR6092 he’s attempted it before. He was in the very first Barkley. He’s just never finished it himself.
Courtney talking like she's only ever completed a few marathons. If a female can do it. She's going to come back and do it
" there are no finishers"
Insane that this race takes the likes of Courtney and basically turns her into an amateur
"Pride is always a few strides before the fall." (Proverbs, 16.18)
Honestly half of why this is so cruel is they have to get there from Knoxville. I don't think the EU/Latin American folks are ever prepared for how disconnected that part of the world is.
wait so no one finished this year?
Correct. Only two Fun Run finishers (3 loops)
Where’s the colour
Cool sounds!
not a fan of B&W...
I would like to watch color film please.
That looked miserable
