#bm100 www.facebook.com/distancesplus Footage confirming Ronan Pierre was with the lead pack at loop 1 fire tower. Might plausibly be one of our unknown loop 1 finishers

@taka-does-stuff.bsky.social Alix Noblat is a confirmed racer! Was in the group photo - as well as pictures of her pages on her story and a picture of her during the race

#bm100

Okay thanks! Still looking to find out who the lead woman was then

None necessarily, maybe the Newfoundland & Labrador one if that chain is also from this year. Or the non-scottish UK one since Damian isn't a newcomer and thus wouldn't have brought a plate

I don't fully understand, does this imply that Gina did a loop under the cut off and/or does it imply Maggie was not racing herself? Also I don't know what video is being referred to

Could you link the post?

@taka-does-stuff.bsky.social

The runner from Japan was Akihiro Maeda.

He says that he didn't finish the first lap.

#BM100

Very impressive find! And she's from my neck of the woods!

The 2026 Australian was Stephen Redfern

Finally, he announces a video will be released about his Spine-Barkley double, which he's calling the Sparkley.

#BM100 6/6

Could you link exactly what you makes you think that?

Thank you!

I'm also relatively confident it's Poland anyway just from the orientation of the flags around it. But you never know if the person that hung them up knows their flags

I'm very colorblind and will take your word for it

Right, just saw the interview with Raichon. Fixed

I love that third image

Barkley Results

oh and yeah big update to the #bm100 sheet for the day! 3 new names, some reshuffled mapping onto the nicknames (still guesses) and 6 more countries docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

un-ID'd #bm100 flags. California is not on the sheet because I suspect they attributed both that and France to Guillaume

No finishers at 2026 Barkley Marathons in Frozen Head State Park See photos of the 40th Barkley Marathons, which took place in Frozen Head State Park in Wartburg, Tennessee, and began on Feb. 14, 2026.

Learned that Guillaume was there, and a pic of John being there. eu.knoxnews.com/picture-gall... Added to barkley.ferrett.io #bm100

If you want to see the video of Sébastien's finish, it's here : www.facebook.com/runningmag

Thanks to Rémy Jegard for sharing.

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

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

noooooooo!

Mathieu Blanchard quit on loop 3 due to cold and is tapped out. #BM100

I must have dozed off or something, but somehow I missed Max King dropping a couple hours ago, after making it to book 4 on loop 3. Two runners remain on loop 3; 1 remains on loop 1. #BM100

By the same logic, Max King's chance of a fun run finish is 39% #bm100

Good news for our #bm100 front runners: Of all Barkley runs that had a split between 22 and 23 hours for loop 2, 82% are successful fun runs.

Though none of them finished loop 4 and only 27% were even allowed to attempt it.
