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

Loop 2 times are up, pairing with code names and loop 1 times is a total guess #bm100

running through rain for hours is no joke, but it looks like it may lighten up this evening #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

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
February 15, 2026 at 12:34 AM
at the cutoff — 12 runners, 30% of the field are now on loop 2 #BM100
February 15, 2026 at 12:22 AM
only about 30 minutes left for loop 1 #BM100
Two more runners, including the lead woman, have finished loop 1; at the same time, two other runners returned to camp from the wrong direction and are tapped out. #BM100

If we don't get at least another 2 loop 1 finishers in the next 40 minutes this will have been hardest loop 1 of all time #bm100

.....did he mean 11:40?
A Pale Guy and Happy Guy with Red Shirt finished loop 1 in 10:40:27 and :29. #BM100

Sounds like the rain has already started #BM100
Rain could be a big factor, possibly starting in the next few hours, peaking tomorrow and possibly lasting all day #BM100
At a minimum, these five are on 100 mile pace. They need to transition quickly, though, and a lot will depend on what the rain does tonight. #BM100
