Presumably, that means that the Barkley is 27k' of gain, since it's 5 "laps".
Crazy terrain with no trails and it appears, basically no support of any sort (probably other than some sort of emergency medical and some way to track the folks). I guess you've got to figure out where you're supposed to go on several check points and hit each one 5 times.
"Badwater Ultramarathon" sounds like something else that I'm not interested in attempting.
