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

We’ve just had three more drops coming in from different directions.

laz, to runner: You’re coming in from the wrong direction!

Runner: I left my sense of humor behind.

The third runner has just begun Loop 2.

laz: Every loop is easier than the loop before.

Runner: Are you sure?

Four drops so far and we know more are coming. The thing is, they are coming back to camp from all directions and in some cases cannot describe where they were. This is old school Barkley. #BM100

The first runner has returned to camp on quitters road and faced the bugler. (He was not the human sacrifice.) #BM100

Someone has quit by now. We don’t know who, we don’t know where, we don’t know why. But for sure someone has quit. We’ll find out who/when/why when they get back to camp. #BM100
