Each spring, a secretive invitation draws a handful of extreme athletes to the frozen woods of Tennessee. The Barkley Marathons is a 100-mile ultramarathon disguised as a brutal, almost mythical test of human endurance. With a vertical gain equivalent to climbing Mount Everest twice, a sixty-hour time limit, and a history of only a handful of finishers, the race is a legend. The documentary follows the eccentric creator, Lazarus Lake, and the desperate runners who pit themselves against a course designed to break them, capturing their raw struggle and fleeting moments of triumph.
