Once a year Barkley Marathon chat. 💬
An absolute wild hot take 🔥 I always felt like another European woman had it in her first mind.

Time will tell! The door is open now!

While we are waiting for Damo and Seb to finish their fun run, I’ll go on record with a bold 2027 prediction:

Fresh off her course record breaking win at #ws100 Molly Seidel will become the second woman ever to finish the Barkley #bm100 #daretodream

Since there are still people joining the party and switching from the dark place to Bluesky to follow The Barkley Marathons #BM100 I put together a Starter Pack to help them get, well, started 😅

Who's missing? Please comment below with accounts that I should add to the Pack!

Go Sebastian! To start a loop 4 he has 2:34 to cover approximately 8 miles with 3,500ft of elevation gain and over 5,000ft of loss in the rain. Very tough but still on the table. #BM100
At 3:26pm a runner was seen smiling after seeing a French flag at the fire tower. #BM100

@keithdunn.bsky.social it’s almost school night sleep time for me. Can you grace us with any news of @ultradamo.bsky.social before I hit the hay? 🙏🏻

for @drlygo.bsky.social and anyone else who is curious- #bm100 "royalty tree", as it were! This does NOT currently include the potential for finishers this year, but that also seems...unlikely, so far. If I am proven wrong, however, I'll add to this!

2 down, 2 to go!
Now TWO left: Damian Hall and Sébastien Raichon. #BM100

The Crystal Springs Cross Country track seems to have a Coyote in Residence.
Saw them again on my #trailrun this morning.
I think he’s wondering how many are still out on loop 3 at @barkleymarathon.bsky.social

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.

So, we have Damian Hall, Mathieu Blanchard, Sébastien Raichon, and Max King on loop three. Some hope there. ☠️

Here is a video I shot from last year's BFC of Mathieu Blanchard coming down Rat Jaw. #BM100

Great run down of what we think the 2026 Barkley Course entails so far 😬
Barkley Marathons course rundown for 2026. Recent changes, some course stats, and how its impacted recent performance. Distance and elevation are calculated as lines on map as if someone stayed 'perfectly on course'. #bm100 #BarkleyMarathon

Mulling things over while the final 4 are out on the long 3rd bimble in the woods.

And while its a long shot anyone finishes this year I do hope Damo especially gets it done!

3rd time lucky!

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

And there we go - past the cut-off to start loop 3.

4 runners out on loop 3 is the same as last year, which gave us a single fun run - though the first three back out have a couple of hours' more time this year, and this year's much earlier start means they should have about 11 hours of day #bm100

The Final Four. 🏃🏻‍♂️🏃🏻‍♂️🏃🏻‍♂️🏃🏻‍♂️
the three runners on loop 2 missed the cutoff, 4 runners remain #bm100

5mins left for cut off of loop 2!

Whos making it?
February 15, 2026 at 1:35 PM
Fun runs are back on and looking promising 😬 Max doing great compared to last time.

Any news on our female runners? 🏃‍♀️

#GirlsRunWorld #BM100
Max King finished loop 2 in 24:06:38. #BM100

This represents a big improvement for King, who started last year but didn't finish a single lap.

The fastest lap 2 split last year was Tomo in 24:32; John Kelly split at 25 hours and was the only fun run. So we're definitely looking good for some fun runs at least. #BM100

Wakes Up!

Checks on our runners that are still left out there!

Time for some coffee. ☕️ #bm100
We have had our first loop 2 runner drop out of the race. 11 runners remain on loop 2; 7 runners are still on loop 1 (well over the time limit). #BM100
