The Barkley Marathon is a 60-100 miles course that was inspired by a prison break. Along the way, the runners are expected to pick up books they find while running the course. During the movie it was said that barely anyone finishes the course. I could not imagine why anyone would put themselves through such physical exhaustion to run a course designed after a prison break.

Upon further reflection, I realized that idea of not a lot of people finishing the race draws a lot of people’s attention. I believe that they are many people who want to join the list of the few who finished the course. Also, there are a lot of people who would like to run a course like this for fun.

In all I thought the movie was not as interesting as the other movies that I have seen.
