The film “ The Barkley Marathons: the race that eats its young” shows 3 people who finished in their first time: Brett Maune, Jared Campbell and John Fegyveresi. It was Brett’s second time but he finished his first time the year before. He helped Jared Campbell make it through the first 4 loops and John finished second on his first time at the race. John is shown as the slowest, but to me, most heroic, finisher of the three.
I was really hoping Nicky would be the first female finisher from the UK, but to be fair, Barkley is just brutal. I've met Nicky and she is so lovely and humble, just a normal person who enjoys the fells. Thanks Claire for the chat :)
11:02 There are several virgins who have finished the Barkley Marathons. Jared Campbell's first finish he was a virgin. Brett Maune's first finish he was a virgin John Fegyveresi was a virgin
