Still feeling the high of Jasmin Paris’ finish at the Barkley Marathons becoming the first woman in history. It was improbable. It was by 99 seconds and one of the greatest finishes in history. Many thought it wasn’t to be given her time at the Fire Tower but she never gave up

“This is fucking insane!” Laz’s self-described Laz-con. Had the honor of greeting Laz and welcoming him to Cincinnati; his route actually crossed my run-commute home. Laz is an icon in the ultraworld, at 70 crossing the country on foot is something really special.

Over 17 hours of training in Frozen Head State Park between Sat. & Sun. Training harder and smarter than my two previous Barkley’s but it never seems enough. We give our best! I have great admiration and respect for the 17 finishers as well as for every Barker who has given a go.

Out training for the Barkley for 5 hours yesterday, some bruised ribs and scratches from the week that was. This has been my best year of ultras in my life! After 27 years of ultrarunning, I ran 10 ultras in 2023 covering 1,348 miles. I had 7 podium finishes and 4 wins.

We enjoyed our time, like kids on the playground, who were going to be called in all too early, while others got to play longer. While I was disappointed in my race, being there to witness the races of the 5 finishers including Jasmin left me feeling gratitude. 📸Howie Stern
