#BM100

wow, his rain gear is absolutely in tatters. what a run.

The 2026 Barkley Marathons is over. There are no finishers. #BM100

Sébastien Raichon finished loop 3 in 38:05:46 and is credited with a Fun Run. #BM100

These are our people

A runner has to begin loop 4 by the 36 hour mark in order to continue. Neither Damian nor Sébastien will finish loop 3 in time to begin loop 4; however, if they complete loop 3 within 40 hours they will be credited with a Fun Run. #BM100

the airports of the world should hold an annual competition to see who has the worst chicken caesar wrap

28 hours into the #BM100 1 runner is on loop 1 and loop 2; 4 runners are on loop 3.

26 hours into the #BM100 4 runners are on loop 3, 3 runners are on loop 2, and 5 runners are in loop 1. Runners currently on loop 2 must begin loop 3 by 26:40 in order to continue. #BM100

An A4 piece of paper labelled #BM100 2026. At the bottom are two circles with arrows around them indicating a counterclockwise direction, one labelled Loop 1 and one labelled Loop 2. Above them is a large area labelled 'Tapped'. There are 7 dragon meeples in the Loop 1 circle, with a collection of 21 dragon and egg meeples in the tapped area above it. There are a further 11 dragon meeples in the Loop 2 circle, with one in the tapped area above it.

IN SUMMARY:
#BM100

I'm so very sorry. thank you for sharing him with us, & holding you both in the light.

Me: “OMG Barkley is on!!”

Normal person: “The what?”

Me: “It’s this crazy race in TN that only 20 ppl have finished in 40 years.”

Normal person: “Wow, are you gonna watch?”

Me: “You don’t watch, you follow some guy’s Twitter!”

Normal person….

a close up of a bunch of super bisexual glitter sparkle whistles. <3

I just spent a couple hours in the whistle inbox, inputting 39 requests. They ranged from 100 for a lady who wants to give them out at church to 3,000 for a large union. All over the country, but one common refrain: I want to help.

Thanks for helping us do this. 💓
