Huh, no forward?  Try this.

Here's an interesting site that talks about the race and results.   It's a
100-mile race, with 52,900' of climbing & descent. It's 5 20-mile loops.
There's
a 60-hour cutoff for the race. It's been run since 1986, with 7 out of 650
runners finishing.

David Horton 2001 58:21
Cave Dog (Ted Keizer) 2003 56:57
Flyin' Brian  2008  55:47
(In 2007, Flyin' Brian was the only runner to finish loop 4, stopping at 85
miles)

Hello Running Fans,
                              

    Famous triple crowner Brian Robinson finished Barkley 55:47 . The
Barkley is the hardest Ultra-Marathon. Brian is the 7th person to ever
complete
the race. David Horton (trail maintainer NBATC)has also completed this race.
