"Probably the Barkley marathon. It sounds sort of off the wall. I don’t know if I’d go to complete it, maybe just take part in it. No woman has actually completed it."
Nicky Spinks
Not sure how many of you know who Nicky Spinks is but you do if you know much about Fell Running. Nicky Spinks made fell running history in 2016 being the fastest to run a Double Bob Graham Round. Below, in the video section, is a film on Nicky Spinks and some info on the movie and Nicky here. If you have not heard of Nicky you can read more on her here: My Double Bob Graham Round & How to Run Farther than You Thought Possible. As per the quote above it would be great if Nicky would run the Barkley, how about it Lazarus, or Gary for those not in the loop.
