Barkley Bonus Episode - Damian Hall and the 2026 Barkley
from Hiker Trash Radio · host Bleav + Doc
Doc hosts a Barkley bonus episode with returning guest Damian Hall. Hall recounts his Barkley attempts in 2023 and 2024 where he reached loop five both times, then 2026’s earliest start, freezing rain, and dense fog, where he completed two loops before turning back on loop three due to cold, wet, navigation time loss, and safety concerns. He discusses course changes since 2025, race math and margins, a barefoot creek crossing, and his April 9 book “Run Forever” on staying strong into middle age.

What this episode covers
Just a week removed from the Valentine's Day Massacre in Frozen Head, Damian Hall joins Doc in the studio to debrief what exactly happened out there. Settle in and buckle up as Damian takes us through all the brambles and fog and talks about the new Barkley course that currently seems impossible. Epic.
