I don't run the Barkley but I run the Barkley sheet https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/e/2PACX-1vS7bFn8RH5Na4vVxNijCsFCiHeYqRksDi5D9ddC9Fz4yK7nOQhEg8HwG78lz-PFVB2EkFn4QlJKEXMV/pubhtml

Very long report from Mathieu Blanchard to read on Facebook and Instagram.
Here's what he says. First off, Mathieu is very well-known in France. Along with Courtney Dauwalter, he's probably the biggest name to run Barkley.
1/10

California could be Guillaume, Ohio I could have SWORN I added, and India I saw forever ago and simply forgot, thanks!

Since we now know 31 out of the 40 runners, exactly as many as last year, perhaps now's a good time for some stats:
20 virgins up from 17 last year.
Combined number of Barkleys experienced before this one: 26 down from 37.
10 women up from 5.
18 international athletes, same as last year! #bm100
Another major update to the #BM100 sheet: 31 out of 40 names! docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

#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

16.02.2026 21:08 — 👍 50 🔁 8 💬 1 📌 0Okay thanks! Still looking to find out who the lead woman was then
16.02.2026 23:56 — 👍 4 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0None 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
16.02.2026 23:30 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0I 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

The runner from Japan was Akihiro Maeda.
He says that he didn't finish the first lap.

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