  1. I thought On The Trail Of Ghengis Khan looked interesting but the link seems to be the same as for the film above it.
    I thought you would want to know.
    Great list by the way!

    Hi Alistair,
    I noticed there wasn’t a link for the Barkley Marathons. There is a nice intro film and one excellent feature on Gary Robbin’s attempt at the Barkley Marathons.
    Intro: Barkley 100 – World’s most difficult and bizarre sporting event?
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n-V8x0hQXA4

    And the very, very wonderful WHERE DREAMS GO TO DIE – Gary Robbins and The Barkley Marathons
    This second film is perhaps best at showing just how tough the race is, chewing up and spitting out even the finest ultra-runners.
