Amazing! Congratulations!

The 2024 Barkley Marathons have ended. Jasmin Paris (UK) became the first woman in history to finish the Barkley Marathons. She finished in 59:58:21 with less than two minutes to spare. Also, for the first time in history, there were five finishers.

Congratulations also to Ihor Verys (UKR/CAN) 58:44:59, John Kelly (US) 59:15:38, Jared Campbell (US) 59:30:32, Greig Hamilton 59:38:42 (NZ). It was Jared's 4th Barkley finish and John’s 3rd finish. Damian Hall (UK) and Sebastien Raichon (FR) did not finish loop five and faced the bugler.

NEW EPISODE ALERT: In this episode I speak with Mary Connolly, who is a certified running coach, speaker, and consultant who helps organizations and runners who are looking to raise money through charity running.

Mary and I discuss how to raise money for causes you believe in through fund raising and charity, and how running is a great way to support the organizations you care about. She has personally raised over $100,000 for organizations.
Mary has a great runner origin story and shares her story how she got into running and what she learned along the way.
