Honestly, John Kelly seems like the absolute loveliest person. He just jumps into action. But what an incredible achievement for all of them. I’m keen to see what happens next year!
Incredible - and so moving. What I loved most was not only Jasmin’s finish, but how the entire community showed her such grace and admiration. It’s a reflection of the human spirit, so pure. The very best of people. Thank you, Gary, for this!
@Gary Robbins, you are such a bloody class act. The way that you went and crewed there, cheered for everyone, clearly soaking in their finishes, recorded this, edited the footage and then spent time with all the finishers so people you don't even know could also feel like we were there, when some people would just have sworn off Barkley for ever... thank you so so much for this !
Also, I cannot believe how Ihor finishes. He looks like he's just starting a 5k easy run after having had a good night sleep and the best breakfast of his life.
As an ultra runner myself, I’m amazed at the finishers nutrition and sleep deprivation management. Wow, absolutely amazing amount of passion and self discipline.
Thank you for this! I really enjoyed that you left all the casual conversations/interactions. As someone who will probably never get the chance to be there, it was really nice just seeing some of that plainly without docu-dramatization.
Thank you @Gary Robbins for putting this series of clips together, just fabulous! (and fun to hear some of the chatter in the background as well for a taste of what 'camp life' was like) 🙂
This right here is the best humanity has to offer. Laz has created something that strips you off your ego and shows the real you without DMT. He nailed the set and the setting and invented a portal that only a few shall pass.. Great work capturing the video Gary.
> John is a wreck haha, well not as much of a wreck as the 2017 finish where in his delirium was literally wearing a grocery store plastic bag as a 'poncho'.
Such humble people, there was no air punching, shouting, screaming etc when they finished. I know by that point they are physically done but even so it needed a more than well done hugs. Also wondered how many others completed 5 loops but didn't qualify, never hear anything of those equally amazing folks!!!
Thanks for sharing this, Gary. Love the unedited version, and how everyone supported each other. What a show of support from you, when others are saying "four finishers, amazing" and we can hear you say a couple of times "Hopefully five!" The enthusiasm in your voice when you are cheering Jasmin on near the end -- We are right there with you in the moment - it's obvious you were 100% willing her to make it to the finish.
Congratulations to all of the finishers this year...Gary- Thank you for putting together such a wonderful video showing each of the competitors completing this unique event & the comradery of all those who witness this fabulous accomplishment.
THANK YOU Gary !!!!!! This is F'ING AWESOME...WHAT A YEAR THIS WAS . I Would have Loved to see you out there Again,But it must Have Been GREAT crewing for one of The BEST And to witness HISTORY .. Enough CANNOT be said about Jasmin ... HOLY SHIT ..SPEECHLESS.
Gary great coverage.!! You make the Barkley real and fun for a general audience.....Thanks for doing your stuff!! PS when is Chilliwack going to see a Ultra on the Big Chill...
I gained a whole new set of heroes this year. Just when I needed them. Now watching Laz do his massive feat on Facebook too. You guys are all brilliant.
Wonderful video, thank you. We're so lucky to have footage like this available and freely shared. 18:38 - how is Jared able to do that after finishing Barkley? I can't do that for 2 days after a 20 mile run. Damo looked fresh - he seems like the most likely next finisher.
Wow Gary, that is epic footage. Thanks so much for sharing. Even better completely raw - like the Barkleys themselves. Have you managed to get hold of Greig for an interview yet?
Gary, have to pause while watching this to send you a message. I was at the pitch across from yours (I am the girl with the Alps tattoo). Watching your personal journey during the course of this incredible week was one of the most moving experiences. It seemed to be almost Cathartic for you, and it was beautiful to witness. I hope our paths cross again.Steph
Thank you so much for this Steph! It was indeed a wonderful experience for me and very much affirmed my decisions these last few years. Means a lot to know it appeared obvious to this paying attention 😊
Thanks for sharing this Gary! It was awesome to see 5 people in one year finish. Wonderful to see Jasmin as the first female finisher! Now what will Laz do to stir up the pot to make it tougher?
i'm so impressed than in a place that looks so forlorn (everyone who describes frozen head as beautiful in early spring is a f-ing liar) AND on a course that is so difficult so many have managed 5 laps. that said, frozen head is still at least a notch or two above ironman/utmb, and two times a notch or two above vail:)
I've followed the Barkleys forever. This lady's mental toughness floors me.
i love how Laz protected Jasmin from the camera guys when he realized she wasnt doing well. He's such a good dude
Honestly, John Kelly seems like the absolute loveliest person. He just jumps into action.
But what an incredible achievement for all of them. I’m keen to see what happens next year!
Incredible ! just to stay focused for 60 hours is a dang miracle. let alone going up and down 18K meters. Congratulations!
The finishers picture is one of a kind!!!! Will remain in history of running!!!!
It's a beautiful photo
I was so happy Jasmin was able to stand up! I can imagine your body is just completely empty after this.
Incredible - and so moving. What I loved most was not only Jasmin’s finish, but how the entire community showed her such grace and admiration. It’s a reflection of the human spirit, so pure. The very best of people. Thank you, Gary, for this!
This new Coke ad is a slow burn for sure.
😂
I always imagine myself being there, you just made it for me. Thank you
Laz shouting at the cameraman to give Jasmin space 🩵

Thank you for your kind words 🙏
As an ultra runner myself, I’m amazed at the finishers nutrition and sleep deprivation management. Wow, absolutely amazing amount of passion and self discipline.
Jared and Igor looks as if they could easily have done another round. They do not even look beat or tired. Amazing.
Yes, Ihor didn't even need/want to sit down 😅
This raw footage is AMAZING! Thank you Mr Robbins for sharing🙏. You get a glimpse of how the vibe is in camp during the race. Loved it🫶

Dammit Gary, I was going to try and get work done today! Welp, 30 mins gone 😂. I love this so much. Thank you for posting!!!
Hey we all need work breaks
This right here is the best humanity has to offer. Laz has created something that strips you off your ego and shows the real you without DMT. He nailed the set and the setting and invented a portal that only a few shall pass.. Great work capturing the video Gary.
I’m a machine elf? Tf?
Been watching this event for a few years now and it always amazes how anyone can finish. Fantastic stuff!
Jared looks like he's just finished an average weekend long run. At the same time John is a wreck. Well done all!
> John is a wreck
haha, well not as much of a wreck as the 2017 finish where in his delirium was literally wearing a grocery store plastic bag as a 'poncho'.
@@ps3udologue Yes, I remember that finish.
John and his bag is one of my favourite Barkleys moments.
John is always a wreck
I have thoroughly enjoyed your videos of this historic race! Thank you for sharing this insight with us!!!

Thanks so much, Gary, for sharing this.❤
Wow Gary, that is epic footage. Thanks so much for sharing. Even better completely raw - like the Barkleys themselves.
Have you managed to get hold of Greig for an interview yet?
I have! We're connecting tomorrow 👍
awesome! how the heck could Jared look so good after all of that?? I guess that's why he is 4x finisher. Amazing - all of them!
This was a great video!
Keep this up we are all going to quit are jobs and move to Chilliwack.
Brilliant film, thanks for sharing.

What a wonderful document! 😭😭😭👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Ihor at 23:41 😅
Laz in 2025: And I took that personally
Thank you so much for that insight ❤
Thank you! 🙏💪🏼🎉🙂
Ihor looked so casual. Amazing.
Thank you Garry, history in the making
Most amazing finish ever...
loved that!
Jasmine is just incredible
That has to have been the one of the, if not the best, weather situations ever
Amazing video, thanks!!
This is so good Gary. Thank you so much. Love being able to see these magnificent moments.
I was excited to see you there! I got pictures of you and my lame claim to fame was seeing you in person, even though I didn’t meet you.
You should've come up and introduced yourself
@@GaryRobbins I’m too shy!
Incredible 👏👏👏👏👏
Sheer determination!
thank you gary!
Thanks for sharing this Gary! It was awesome to see 5 people in one year finish. Wonderful to see Jasmin as the first female finisher! Now what will Laz do to stir up the pot to make it tougher?
Fantastic
Nice one
Jasmin did such an epic achivement
Look out 2025 participants, I hear Laz is going to keep the same time limit but add a 6th loop since it's too easy now. LOL
This has to be the most finishers in a single year ever.
Super awesome! I wish the audio was a bit better so I could hear more of the conversations going on.
yeah, it took a lot of editing just to get the sound levels to the point they're at. As best as can be hoped for off of a phone it seems.
fantastic
Do any of you minimalistic footwear nerds know what brand and model of sandals the dude in the yellow shirt is wearing? 9:57
Those are sketchers

Finishing Fegys-style used to be a thing. Finishing Paris-style tho...
A man bends under a bar.
The crowd: Ooooooh!
A woman slowly sits and sips a cold beverage.
The crowd: Aaaaaaaaww!
😆
Oh, I hoped you would try one more time to finish! Such a shame, you have the best comeback story opportunity! Not too late?
Gary, I still have a lot of hope that you will go back to the Barkley and finish the 5 loops yourself!
That Cola mustve tasted awesome!
bro that was fucking insane.
what was the deal with the missing time cards? How do they work
"Do not block gate....unless you finish the Barkley, than you do whatever the fuck you want"
