Barkley Marathons 2023 in the books

The 2023 running of the Barley Marathons just wrapped up. The Barkley is one of the toughest ultramarathons out there, with approximately 1% of runners finishing. Just 15 people finished in the 40 year history of the race. It is a 100+ mile race consisting of five alternating loops with 60,000 feet of elevation change that needs to be completed in 60 hours.
2023 saw great trail and weather conditions which led to a record three finishers. First was Frenchman Aurelien Sanchez, followed by hometown boy and second-time finisher John Kelly, and lastly Karel Sabbe, the Belgian dentist who had twice before failed on his final loop.
Anyone else been following?

Is this the one in Tennessee? If so the video I watched on some steaming service was next level. If it’s the one I’m thinking it should be right up the alley of David Goggins.

It's held only a few miles north of me. One year I'm going to have to go just hang out... I had no intention of ever running that much.

i follow it every year since the documentary came out. 3 finishers and first finishers since 2017! Laz is a total psychopath and its hilarious. Those people running it might be just as bananas. He will likely make it more difficult next year with 3 people finishing and so many people making it to loops 4 and 5
Think you could get a loop in?

Is this the one where the race director lights up a cigarette to signal the start

3 finishers is good.
How many hours do they have per lap? I could do a lap in 8 hours but think it's less than that.

What was the entry fee this year? A pair of boxers? Ol boy usually goes by what he needs, wardrobe wise.
