>Potential entrants must complete an essay on "Why I Should be Allowed to Run in the Barkley", pay a $1.60 entry fee, and complete other requirements subject to change. If accepted, an entrant receives a "letter of condolence"

>The Barkley starts any time from 11 p.m. to 11 a.m. on race day, with one hour till race start signaled by blowing a conch. The race officially begins when a cigarette is lit by the race director

I'm not a hipster so i don't want to participate but to answer your question ofc I couldn't finish it's designed so 95 of participants don't finish

The most I have done in the mountains is 45km in 12 hours.

I could do 1 loop at least, and likely do 2.

Three loops would be unlikely and highly unlikely I would get 4 or more.
