Gary Cantrell, known as Lazarus Lake, is an endurance race designer and director. His races, including the Barkley Marathons, the Big's Backyard Ultra, the Last Annual Heart of the South, and the Strolling Jim 40, are known for their extreme challenge.

A largely fringe figure known only within the world of ultrarunning, Cantrell gained worldwide recognition following a 2014 documentary called The Barkley Marathons: The Race That Eats Its Young. Lake has developed a cult following.
