Had seen all the docs. Read most of the articles. Nothing could have prepared me for the Barkley experience. What an amazing race. #BM100

James Earl Ray's thoughts after 54.5 hours on the future Barkley course: “That’s wilderness out there. I must have been in places that no human being has ever been. There’s heavy brush up there and things like that.”

1992 was the first year for #hr100. A runner who did not finish wrote, “Run this event at your own risk. That is at the risk of leaving the planet and the life of running that you enjoy.”

1992 was the first year for #hr100. An Ultrarunning Magazine editorial stated, “Do it at your own risk. There is no honor in being the first to die at the Hardrock, just as there is no shame in settling for an ‘easy’ challenge such as Western States.”

1992 was the first year for #hr100. One runner became so lost that he could not be located for 8 hours. Several runners quit because of concerns for their safety on the high ridges and passes. One runner said he was lucky that he did not die. ultrarunninghistory.com

David Horton won the 1992 inaugural #hr100 in 32:34:00. It included heavy rain showers. Some runners were and shocked at how difficult and dangerous it was. Only 18 of the 42 starters finished. ultrarunninghistory.com

30 years ago some of the world's top ultrarunners lined up in a shopping centre in Milton Keynes to compete in the inaugural IAU 24-Hour Championships. Don Ritchie (pic left) won the men's championship. Eleanor Adams won the women's championship. #ultrarunning @UltraRunningHis
