One of the barkley finishers (serendipitously featured in the documentary!) wrote a terrific and long race report [1]. Really good and unpolished insight into the training and race experience. I enjoyed reading it just as much as I enjoyed the documentary others have mentioned.

My favorite post-race report is from the infamous Andrew Thompson run of 2005, in which a promising young runner headed into the fifth loop with a good time and then completely lost his mind from sleep deprivation, spending the next hour vividly hallucinating and wandering aimlessly through the woods.
