That’s just the fun run.Journalist and ultrarunner Michiel Panhuysen is a multiple-time Barkley entrant, having fallen under the spell of this most enigmatic of races – and its presiding philosopher-genius organizer Lazarus Lake – in the early 2010s. On each occasion, the Barkley won. The Barkley nearly always wins.In the Spell of the Barkley is a story of sporting obsession, exploring what drives individuals to challenge themselves at the limits of what is possible – and what it takes to succeed.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 234mmItem Length: 153mmAuthor: Michiel PanhuysenGenre: Sports & HobbiesTopic: BiographyRelease Year: 2023 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
