Many marathon enthusiasts agree that the most gruelling marathon in the world is the Barkley Marathons, held each year in the woods of Tennessee in the United States. The Barkley Marathons course covers between 97 km and 160 km and requires runners to climb roughly 16,500 metres, almost twice the height of Mount Everest, in 60 hours. 60 saal me bhi nahi hoga ye toh.
