Great job to Seb on a fun run in these conditions. And honestly to Damo making it back to camp, started to worry his lap 3 could turn into that unlucky lap 1 at 27 hours
The 2026 Barkley Marathons is over. There are no finishers. #BM100

As expected for a while now the course wins. Hopefully our last two can confirm how much fun they had with official fun runs #bm100

And then there were 2, this fog really ended all hope #bm100

Overnight carnage as expected. Looks like 3 that could keep past a fun run and 1 other with a shot at that. Daylight helps but these splits historically give little hope for a full pull #bm100

Went out for a few hours and see this news on the return, 12 made it to lap 2, only time we had fewer was last year. Hope the rain doesn't drown all hope
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

Unfortunately that's already looking realistic with this course, starting ccw, the upcoming rain. Hope I'm wrong and we get 60 hours of tension this weekend #bm100
Who is pessimistic and predicts LESS than 5 Fun Runs? #bm100

Love that we have some updates finally and it looks like the early drop rumor was wrong but nearly 10 hours on lap one is a bad sign with the weather coming. even though they are ccw this year

Anxiously awaiting signs of the first runners. Is Killian really there? He certainly has the fitness and climbing down, I would imagine the big groups early will thin but if he can stick with someone for a lot of the route finding that's huge #bm100

6 hours in, hopefully some finishers in a couple hours. With the rain that is coming I think we need 2 fast laps to have a shot at finishers.

Iain Bethune seems to be our only "confirmed" runner but we know 5 French speakers are out quick #bm100

Wow, super early start for the #bm100 will be very interesting to see who is running this year as it looks like there's very little info so far

We shouldn't accept race reports posted on anything other than angelfire, honestly #BM100
‘I have given my blood to its sawbriers, I have searched for and not found its trails, I have trod where none have trod before, I have EXPERIENCED Barkley.’

Dan Baglione, at 75, got 1 book and spent 32hrs lost during the 2006 #bm100

His report is amazing:
