Returning guest Iain Bethune joins us fresh from tackling the 2026 Barkley Marathons, one of the most notorious races on the planet. Iain recently published his full race report following the event, sharing insights into the brutal conditions, navigation challenges, and the mental game required to survive even a single loop of Barkley. [milestogether.co.uk]This year’s Barkley proved especially savage — 2026 ended with zero finishers, making it the 26th year in race history where the course defeated every runner. Fog, freezing creek crossings, storms, and a newly adjusted course layout added to the mayhem. Iain walks us through his experience and reflects on what makes Barkley such a uniquely captivating challenge.
