Barkley Marathons 2023 with Tomokazu Ihara

We welcome back Tomokazu Ihara from his 4th attempt of the Barkley Marathons and his best effort yet, achieving a fun run in 35:55 and getting out on the fourth loop with 27 seconds to spare!

A momentous year that saw 3 finishers for only the second time ever and the first finish since John Kelly’s last finish in 2017.

Tomo has been dedicated to this challenge for the past 7 years and it’s inspiring to hear his story of dedication and tenacity to an event that has the highest DNF rate of any known race.
