The 2026 Barkley Marathons began with one of the strongest fields ever. The starting field came from 15 Counties as well as 15 States, and included ten women. The course seemed not to care. Over 70% of the field is done. #BM100

I think there might be ~34 (max 39 starters). Maybe.

60 is like a walk in the park!

(Although Barkley has forever changed the meaning of "walk in the park".)

I think not - the report of them living also said that they had returned to camp (and also came after the time cut for starting loop 2).
