Bluesky needs an edit function. @support.bsky.team
This is a convoluted way of saying I'll be running doubles on Wednesdays and Thursdays. My kingdom for an edit button.

At 3:26pm a runner was seen smiling after seeing a French flag at the fire tower. #BM100

The final runner has returned from loop 1. “This mud sucks. What’s it made of? Grease?” #BM100

I must have dozed off or something, but somehow I missed Max King dropping a couple hours ago, after making it to book 4 on loop 3. Two runners remain on loop 3; 1 remains on loop 1. #BM100

Mathieu Blanchard quit on loop 3 due to cold and is tapped out. #BM100

Correction: it was 2002 that the park was closed for budget reasons. #BM100
Barkley history: This the 40th running of the Barkley Marathons over 42 years. In 2000 the park was closed for budget reasons and in 2020 it was closed because of the pandemic. #BM100
February 15, 2026 at 3:44 PM
28 hours into the #BM100 1 runner is on loop 1 and loop 2; 4 runners are on loop 3.

In addition to the rain, fog is rolling in. Now the Barkley is just playing with the runners. #BM100

Speed is not the solution to navigation problems - laz #BM100

Three of the five runners from loop 1 have returned to camp. There are still 2 runners on loop 1, 3 runners on loop 2, and 4 runners on loop 3. #BM100
February 15, 2026 at 2:05 PM
One of the runners still on loop 1 has a 100 mile PR of just over 15 hours. We are 27 hours into the #BM100.
February 15, 2026 at 2:00 PM
26:40 into the race the 3 runners still on loop 2 are over the time limit and will be tapped out when they return to camp. The 5 runners still on loop 1 are now also over the time limit for loop 2. The key to success at the Barkley is to go faster than one mile per hour. #BM100
February 15, 2026 at 1:43 PM
26 hours into the #BM100 4 runners are on loop 3, 3 runners are on loop 2, and 5 runners are in loop 1. Runners currently on loop 2 must begin loop 3 by 26:40 in order to continue. #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
February 15, 2026 at 12:54 PM
Max King begins loop 3 wearing plastic bags around his feet in 25:42:12. #BM100
February 15, 2026 at 12:46 PM
Max King finished loop 2 in 24:06:38. #BM100
February 15, 2026 at 11:10 AM
Damian Hall began loop 3 barefoot at 22:54:26. Mathieu Blanchard and Sébastien Raichon began loop 3 shortly thereafter. #BM100
February 15, 2026 at 9:59 AM
laz: How’s it going Damian?

Damian Hall: Probably exactly how you want it to be going.

#BM100
February 15, 2026 at 9:50 AM
The first loop 2 finishers: Sébastien Raichon in 22:35:40; Mathieu Blanchard :42; Damian Hall :44. At the same time, another loop 2 runner has quit and is tapped out. #BM100
February 15, 2026 at 9:42 AM
While we wait for the next runners to come in we’ve been discussing ways to make future Barkleys easier on the runners. Future years will yield mass finishes. #BM100
February 15, 2026 at 8:36 AM
After watching all day the issue is simple: the runners have to go faster than one mile an hour. #BM100
February 15, 2026 at 8:26 AM
One runner who dropped said he couldn’t understand why he was redlining the entire time because the course was easier than he expected. #BM100
February 15, 2026 at 7:35 AM
Eight runners remain on loop 2. #BM100
