That's really cool. I hiked at Frozen Head a couple of years ago and it is a very rugged (and remote) park.

[Jared Campbell] was the sole person to complete this year's Barkley Marathons in Morgan County. Campbell finished the sadistic 100-mile race up and down the steep cliffs of Frozen Head State Park in 57:50:20. To be clear, that is 57 hours, 50 minutes, and 20 seconds. The time limit for the race is 60 hours.

This is the second time Campbell has completed the Barkley Marathons. Campbell also finished in 2012. Monday he became the second two-time finisher in Barkley history. It marked only the 15th time the 100-mile course has been completed since the race was founded in the mid-1980s.

I hiked to the waterfalls in frozen head but I have never gone to the peak. Its a very pretty park, but I cant imagine what it would be like to run this marathon. Those folks are have got to be in perfect condition. I'm afraid I fit in better in a Golden Coral than at a marathon.
