Name: Meet "The Endurance Artist"
Start: 2025-09-10T18:00:00-05:00
Location: Clementine Hall

Dubbed “the Leonardo da Vinci of Pain,” the legendary Lazarus Lake — mastermind behind the infamous Barkley Marathons and Big’s Backyard Ultra — is making a rare appearance in Nashville for an unforgettable evening celebrating the launch of "The Endurance Artist", a new book by author Jared Beasley.
Beasley spent five years immersed in the ultrarunning world to craft this compelling, behind-the-scenes look at the most punishing endurance events on the planet — and the eccentric genius who created them. This special event offers a unique opportunity to hear stories straight from Laz himself, alongside Beasley in a candid conversation moderated by Jay Kelly of UltraSignup.
Presented in partnership with HOKA, UltraSignup, and Parnassus Books, this iconic gathering will take place at the beautifully restored Clementine Hall. Your $20 ticket includes:
✔ Event entry
✔ One complimentary drink
✔ Light snacks
✔ A small commemorative gift
Signed copies of "The Endurance Artist" will be available for purchase on-site, and 100% of ticket proceeds will benefit Feeding America, one of Laz’s favorite charities.
