“Want a chair?” a spectator asks.

“No..chairs are for finishers,” John replies.

In the howling wind and rain, John Kelly completes a “Fun Run” at the 2025 Barkley Marathons in 39 hours and 50 minutes. Afterward, he takes the ceremonial bugle and plays his own taps.

We may see some Loop 3 finishers as the sun is going down. I’ll be at Texas Roadhouse.

Barkley continues to shred runners, both physically and mentally.

The question of whether we will see a finisher is quickly shifting to “will we even see a Loop 4 finisher?”

Lap times for Loop 1 finishers. Anyone else coming in will be tapped out.

10 runners finished Loop 1.
9 runners began Loop 2.
I slept for 9 hours.
They did not.

Sounds like the first lap did a number on several runners. Lots coming back to camp from all different directions.

Runner spotted at the Fire Tower - which is an accomplishment but still a ways away from the end of the first lap.

I'd imagine even DNF'ing #BM100 is an athletic achievement in and of itself.

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

The fastest first lap of Barkley has been just over 8 hours. Don't expect many updates until ~6:00p ET

If you're new to following #BM100 let me introduce you to our favorite tradition. If you have a cat, you must post a picture of them with the #BM100 hashtag.

If you don't have a cat.. go adopt a cat, and then post a picture of them using the #BM100 hashtag.

The Barkley Marathons Historical Spreadsheet will be updated with athletes/timing as it's known. This will be your go-to resource for current race status. Updated in real-time-ish.

59 hours left in the #BM100. It’s time to start with the “Has anyone seen [athlete]!?” posts.

#Thanksgiving, everyone.

Whether or not it’s happy, you can decide.
