After much deliberation, both runners were removed from the results. It was clear that Bre and Khloe did not complete the course when they could not provide any pages from any of the books. At The Barkley Marathons, runners collect pages from books that are set out at various points on the course. There are no timing mats, so the evidence against Bre and Khloe is largely circumstantial. It was also unclear why Bre and Khloe were awarded medals, as there are no such perks at The Barkley Marathons. The film will be available for download during a short window starting MARCH 5th, 2018.

There was no one to check me in at the checkpoints. If I had one small complaint to add, is that due to the secrecy of the course, there is not as much footage of the actual marathon outside of the starting area as I would've liked.When Bre was questioned about her pace, which would have been a record shattering 50 miles per hour, she responded:
Most of us will probably never attempt a race like the Barkley, but the documentary is very relatable and it's easy to transpose those kinds of challenges to another hardship you might be having in your own life. The training, the preparation, the family, the friends, the running, the resting, the highs, the lows, it's all there. It also helps that Gary is just a lovable guy and you really want hiim to succeed. This meant that the 2018 Barkley Marathons would have no official finishers for the first time since 2015. This documentary is very well-produced and gives us an honest look at what it takes to complete this race. Robbins reportedly finished his third lap in 36:12:12:54.
In 20, Gary Robbins, an already accomplished ultrarunner, took part in what would be his toughest challenge to date. No modern technology is allowed (no phone or gps), and there is a 60h limit to complete the full 5 loops. For those who don't know about this race, here is a quick summary: It's a 100+ miles races through forests, briars, mountains and valleys in which you have to complete 5 alternating "loops", while collecting pages of books scattered around the the track (or lack thereof).
Where Dreams Go To Die follows ultrarunner Gary Robbins on a 2-year adventure to complete the Barkley Marathon, one of the toughest, and weirdest, race there is.
