The 12th annual international Gender Census 2025 is now open until at least 30th August 2025! survey.gendercensus.com It's for anyone whose gender (or lack thereof) isn't described by the M/F binary. It's short and easy, and results are useful in academia, business and self-advocacy.

#Eurovision song ratings between me and 9 friends. I'm so glad Austria won

@taka-does-stuff.bsky.social more Barkley spreadsheet additions for 2025. At 42:00 there is an interview with runner Ken Zemach. Probably the “Kenny?” on the spreadsheet. Also at 37:30 Lees Makhlouf (spelling?) is a French speaking runner returning to camp. #bm100 podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/h...

@taka-does-stuff.bsky.social Ben Kerezman from Indiana can be added to the Barkley spreadsheet for this year. #bm100 www.instagram.com/thestoicrunn...

Still putting off editing for a while, will get around to this though

Hi @taka-does-stuff.bsky.social , I have two new names for your spreadsheet : Matt Cantrell and Ben Kerezman. #BM100

Bookmarking for myself as I can't edit for a while

And since I'm in the business of posting #BM100 documentaries now, here's a recent french one. You can make youtube auto generate and auto translate subtitles into english www.youtube.com/watch?v=XLnB...

Already a proper edited video on this year's Barkley! www.youtube.com/watch?v=ezjz... #BM100

For anyone who isn’t on FB or Insta and wants to hear John’s initial race thoughts… #BM100 👇🏻👇🏻

A couple of names for the 2025 tab on your spreadsheet.

The 2 other Canadian runners were myself, Casey Thivierge from Emeryville, ON, and my good friend Derek Mullhall from Tecumseh, ON. It was first attempt for both of us. Cheers!

Rat Jaw footage of so many runners! www.youtube.com/watch?v=tvwO... #bm100

So many new documentaries! Reposting mostly just to bookmark for myself

If anyone's looking for some Tomo content, it looks like there's a whole documentary about his 2023 attempt, that I somehow haven't seen. I thought I was up on all the #BM100 docs. www.youtube.com/watch?v=m34i...

Interview with Claire Bannwarth, in French, pre and post race. #BM100 The caption on the post-race interview says that she got lost in the park after losing her instructions. Gutted for her. www.facebook.com/reel/6630491...

If you like #BM100 you will like this new documentary about Jasmin Paris and her stunning finish last year. youtu.be/PgTEsybXw-4?...

Adding to sheet, but are we sure that's the one from Algeria? I can't find him on google cause he shares his name with a movie villain lol

Very good quality!

this year was brutal -- looks like the fewest total loops completed (and average loops per runner) since 1995 #bm100

www.irunfar.com/2025-barkley... We have an article featuring the list of all women runners! Loop 1 finishing order is sourced from me and is probably not accurate. #bm100

“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've got a start footage! #bm100 www.youtube.com/watch?v=YKyL...

The 2025 Barkley Marathons is over. There are no finishers. #BM100

Ian Farris quit on Loop 2 and has been tapped out. #BM100

Loop 2 cutoff is in 17 minutes. 2 runners remain on the course #bm100

Beginning Loop 3. #BM100

Sébastien Raichon finished Loop 2 in 25:29:15; Maxime Gauduin in 25:29:16. #BM100

Tomo avoids being the slowest end-of-loop-2 frontrunner in #bm100 history by 84 seconds. But fun runs have still been done with this pace before!

Canadian Running says 3 Canadians started, and confirms 1 was Jodi … runningmagazine.ca/trail-runnin...

I've given up hope for anyone to even set foot in loop 4 this year, but I still believe in fun runs #bm100

The slowest loop 2 time to ever get a sub 36h fun run (and thus be allowed to attempt loop 4) was Jared Campbell in 2013 with 22:53:38.... that's about to elapse in this year's race. #bm100

A reminder now that I've put up the race clock on the sheet. Loop 2 cutoff is NOT 24 hours. (Although that would be the pace for the full 100 miles). Rather it's 26:40 since that's 2/3 of a 40h fun run. #bm100

Assignments of which #bm100 runner got which Loop 1 time are total guesses docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

Chris Fisher and Thomas Calmettes both have dropped out on Loop 2 at Bald Knob. Though seemingly about a hundred yards apart, they did not see each other. Seven runners remain on Loop 2; five remain on Loop 1. #BM100

Aurelién confirmed! (via kiprunrunning_ on instagram) #bm100

Starting a thread for flags from the 6 on your side video #bm100 From left to right: California, Maryland, Minnesota (old), Hawaii (about 80% certain), Colorado, Australia If you can ID the one to the left of California you get a repost from me

While waiting for the next update and a few pics, a news report from the 2025 start. #BM100 www.youtube.com/watch?v=in-M...

California, Maryland, Minnesota (outdated as of last year), Alaska My favorite part of #bm100 Barkley autism is when it overlaps with my flag autism

Bed time, be patient about sheet updates for the next 10 hours please #bm10

calculated some quick stats on #bm100 runner finishing likelihoods based on their completion of each loop, while waiting for loop 1 to finish johnsug.substack.com/p/barkley-pr...

What in the world is this #bm100 flag?

I'm still hoping to find pics or a video of the cigarette being lit #bm100

What a find! #bm100

In past years, the flags have corresponded one-to-one with runner heritages

After a brief memorial, laz lit the cigarette at 11:37. The 2025 Barkley Marathons has begun. #BM100

www.facebook.com/people/DNF-U... Based on the yellow gate picture this footage can't be from today, but still worth keeping an eye on. Anyone recognize the people in the newest video? #bm100

*bursts into the room excited and hyperventilating* THE BOWNCH- THE CLONCH- THE BONCH HAS BEEN CLOWN! #bm100

In my experience (from just the numbers), there is no such thing as a Barkley that's too warm. Runners may complain but only cold really causes DNFs
