Reflecting on the most challenging part of that attempt on the Teas and Trails podcast, she said: “It was the cold, and me underestimating the cold. In 2019, the Briton dropped out part-way through the second loop amidst plummeting temperatures and appalling weather conditions. Hall’s fellow inov-8 athlete Spinks is returning to the race for a second time.

👉 #bm100 #barkleymarathons #ultrarunning /vSJoPhzajx- inov-8 MaNicky Spinks This will be his first appearance at the Barkley Marathons.īoth & to tackle Barkley Marathons, the world’s most notorious ultramarathon. Hall finished fifth at Ultra-Trail du Mont Blanc in 2018, and has completed that legendary event a further three times – in 2015, 20. The 47 year old is a journalist and author as well as a runner, and is a strong advocate for the sport reducing its impact on the environment. The Briton set a new men’s record as he won the Montane Spine Race earlier this year to add to his plethora of titles, records and Fastest Known Times (FKTs). The first from inov-8 – along with Nicky Spinks – and for the second see Jasmin Paris below. Not one but two confirmations on Twitter about the Spine Race winner. He makes a welcome return this year – could it be a fourth finish? Damian Hall Rock climbing was his thing before ultra running but he was in danger of making the Barkley Marathons look relatively ‘easy’ as he completed in 2012, 20. It’s not often John Kelly gets topped but as a three-time finisher of the Barkley Marathons, Campbell is a step ahead.

We're gonna have a good ole time.🙂(w/ some friendly competition) 😉 #scheduledtweet /hqJEZiBlET- John Kelly MaJared Campbell

For me #bm100 has become the equivalent – showing people my home mountains & having fun all night(s) long. As a kid there were few things more exciting than having friends over.
