There are also two documentaries on it that I've watched and loved: The Barkley Marathons: The Race that Eats Its Young, and Where Dreams Go to Die. I actually met Gary Robbins (the Canadian ultrarunner that Where Dreams Go to Die focuses on) just last month, he gave me a hug and I was very excited to meet him :))

Endurance sports are a big interest of mine, and it's super awesome to see a trend of increased female participation. In fact, not only are women joining endurance sports in increasing numbers, but women are now out-competing the men in many of these fields!

Kelsey Pfendler just became the first American woman to row solo from California to Hawaii, beating the men's record by a jaw-dropping 9 days.

Cocodona (a 253.3-mile point-to-point ultramarathon in Arizona, for those unfamiliar) was recently won by Rachel Entrekin. Not only did she win it, she set the overall course record. With a time of 56 hours, nine minutes and 48 seconds.

Fiona Kolbinger won a 4000 km cycling race from Bulgaria to France in 2019. She's also a cancer researcher. Btw.

Courtney Dauwalter won the Moab 240 by more than 10 hours. She also previously won Colorado’s Run Rabbit Run 100 and Arizona’s Javelina Jundred 100K, where she set the course records.

Sophie Woods just set the fastest known time across the Alps, covering more than 2,000 kilometres and climbing the equivalent of Mount Everest 12 times in less than a month (28 days, 17 hours and 59 minutes).
