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
Watching, waiting #BM100
laz: How’s it going Damian?
Damian Hall: Probably exactly how you want it to be going.
#BM100
It was less than two hours ago that Damian Hall started loop 3 barefoot to prevent his shoes from getting soaked in the stream. Max King covered his feet in plastic bags. Barkley runners evolve. #BM100
Down to 8 at 7:26am (UK time)
Assuming this would have been news, so I think just the one!
👀👀👀
IN SUMMARY:
#BM100
Woke up to this. 8 remaining on Loop 2 now…will there be a fun run finisher? #BM100
Comfirmed women running the #bm100

All still on Loop1 Out There.
Can you says it’s Christmas time without the tree up? 🎄Equally, is it officially Barkley time when @taka-does-stuff.bsky.social creates the 2026 tab? #BM109
Nothing like dusting off the @bsky.app for another year and the 2026 edition of #BM100 🤓
After a brief memorial, laz lit the cigarette at 6:00am. The 2026 Barkley Marathons has begun. #BM100
Went to Ireland, got married, had Guinness, met Steve & Dave aka the #HappyPear, swam in the sea at sunrise and left feeling inspired. @stefrunssheff.bsky.social
Also very much here for allotment content!
100% @drlygo.bsky.social fault (and a little bit @willbaldlygo.bsky.social). I have however taken this hint/opportunity to update my profile 🤓
It’s been a pleasure to drop in for my first Bsky round of #BM100 👋🏼💙
And that’s a wrap. Slightly less action. Arguably just as interesting #BM100
The feeding frenzy is over, see y'all again in the fall. Heard some complaints it was too hot, too windy, or just too damn hard... for you bunch of losers, maybe 😈 #BM109
Two hours left for the Fun Run and we have yet to see a runner’s light. #BM100
We are 36 hours into the race, meaning the three runners still on Loop 3 cannot continue to Loop 4. However, if they complete Loop 3 within 40 hours they will be credited with a Fun Run. That’s where the real race is now. #BM100
It’s dark out here. And windy. #BM100
A reminder that The Barkley Marathons is not a race. It is a performance, a game, a story. A story with a very willing villain who comes back each year with new schemes to outwit the plucky heroes who dare take him on #bm100
Whist many slept a few more runners have ended their run. Six runners remain on Loop 1. None of the runners who started Loop 2 have dropped or completed the loop. #BM100
It’s like a build year. Start from the bottom. Work our way up. Ultra runners should be here for it. Not just a 4 week training block, but 4 years to wait. Call it recovery after the mad excitement of last year. #BM100 you never know what’s going to happen.
@willbaldlygo.bsky.social predictions that we might wake up tomorrow to it all being over?
Sounds like @ratjaw.bsky.social might have some competition from other areas on the @barkleycourse.bsky.social this year #BM100
@barkleycourse.bsky.social is back. And it is bad 😈#BM100
Having a great day so far! #BM100
After a brief memorial, laz lit the cigarette at 11:37. The 2025 Barkley Marathons has begun. #BM100
