Roughly 80% of the race is off-trail and there are no aid stations – just two water points. The route changes every year and, as there is no GPS allowed, it is impossible to review. Any runners who manage to complete just three loops are awarded ‘fun run’ finisher status. In reality the loops are more like 26-miles long meaning that anybody who completes all five will have covered 130 miles. The Barkley Marathons is made up of five 20-mile loops with more than 54,000 feet of ascent, each loop starts and finishes at the yellow gate where competitors and support teams make camp. If successful, you will receive a ‘letter of condolence’. Your application must include an essay detailing why you feel you should be allowed to race. You first need to find out when and where to send applications from a previous competitor. Why is charles barkley on CNN talking about shooting in the first place.Īnd yes, Charles Barkley missed the mark with this what about chicago nonsense that has nothing to do with what happened in Colorado Springs.The race is restricted to just 40 entries and the first challenge is to be considered. Did anyone push back on this anecdotal horseshit? Black people don't run America so what rights have Black people denied the LGBTQ Community from exercising?

White men are shooting up gay clubs and Charles Barkley is tap dancing on CNN saying Black people are the worst at mistreating the gay community. They are now taking to Twitter to call him out over his notions about the relationship between the Black community and the LGBTQ community. When people then listened back to Barkley’s inferences, it did not go over well with many people on social media. The big reason that Barkley’s comments resurfaced was how they contrasted with the identity of the shooter, who has not African-American and is, in fact, the white grandson of a Donald Trump supporting-Republican who voiced support for the January 6th insurrection.
