Caribou Legs:
Destined to Run
In the past four years, Brad Firth, known as
Caribou Legs, has become an accomplished
ultrarunner, logging 18,000 kilometres (and counting)
on Canada’s roads and trails. But he has been through
tougher struggles in his life than pushing through
100-kilometre days. For nearly 20 years, Firth lived on
the streets of Vancouver’s downtown eastside, addicted
to crack cocaine. He’s been sober for five years, and
running is his new addiction. He sets the bar higher and
higher with each run, testing his limits.
By Rhiannon Russell
Gary Robbins is returning to the
Barkley Marathons in April in his
second attempt to become the first Canadian
finisher of the race. Over 100 miles and
20,000 metres of elevation, he knows he’ll
be facing some of Tennessee’s harshest
backcountry terrain, sleep deprived and
exhausted, with only his hallucinations
for company. The Barkley Marathons has
redefined what it means to suffer in ultra
running. Is this man crazy? You decide.
