Exactly what appeared on my screen when I tried using X on a desktop. Still not operational as of this post.

Twitter/X definitely is down since around 8:45pm HKT. Both desktop and app. No geoblock - activating VPN does not resolve issue. Facebook, Instagtam, YouTube, Google all normal.

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

Tough out for Max King. In case you hadn’t seen elsewhere. #bm100

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...

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

Watch "The Finisher" here: youtu.be/PgTEsybXw-4?... #BM100 #BarkleyMarathons

“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.

The full film premieres on the Singletrack YouTube channel Thursday morning!

The dust hasn’t even settled. And now – the next installment. Dropping sooner than you think… youtube.com/@runsingletr... #BM100 | 📹 @runsingletrack.bsky.social

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

John Kelly, who is credited with a Fun Run, tapped himself out, after which Sébastien Raichon was tapped out. Tomokazu Ihara is still on the course after 40 hours. #BM100

Sébastien Raichon comes in two minutes before the 40 cutoff but did not complete the loop. #BM100

John Kelly finished Loop 3 in 39:50:27. #BM100

2/2 This iconic sign has been replaced and we now have the opportunity to find this piece of Barkley history a home. The idea is to auction it, with the proceeds going to the Barkley Fund, which finances the race. The question now: would this be of interest? More details to follow.

All of you recognize this sign, which is from the iconic Yellow Gate. This is the sign that was in the documentary; the sign Jasmin Paris collapsed next to when she finished the Barkley; the sign countless Barkers have passed as they ran the race . . . 1/2

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

Maxime Gauduin quit on Loop 3 with no pages and is tapped out. Three runners remain in the race. #BM100

Beginning Loop 3. #BM100

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

John Kelly has begun Loop 3. #BM100

John Kelly has finished Loop 2 in 25:00:40. #BM100

Tomo is the first runner to begin Loop 3. #BM100

Loop Stat Corner: In 2021 Jared Campbell and Luke Nelson both had a Loop 2 Split of 24h32 and finished the Fun Run in 39h04. Tomo's Loop 2 Split today: 24h32 #bm100

Tomokazu Ihara is the first to finish Loop 2 in 24:32:50. #BM100

24 hours into the #BM100 no runners have completed Loop 2.

New this year: runners have to return their race watch when they have dropped. #BM100

Judging from Chris' Insta he has no experience at all with running in areas with trees around ;-) This was definitively something new for him. #bm100

Is this the Chris Fisher we're talking about? #bm100

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

Ten runners completed Loop 1 within the time limit; 9 continued to Loop 2. 14 runners have been tapped out; 16 remain on Loop 1 and will be tapped out when they return. #BM100

Absolutely no momentos (other than pages collected) this year. #BM100

Feel free to follow. It’s still just a small gathering. #BM100 bsky.app/profile/did:...

Weather: it was cold last night, very clear. Right now sunny and warming up. It is supposed to get into the high 60s/low 70s today. Tonight will not be as cold as last night. Rain is not expected until tomorrow evening. #BM100

After multiple failed attempts, the conch was blown at 10:37. The 2025 Barkley Marathons begins in one hour. #BM100.

We still don’t know when. But when it’s time, it’s time. #BM100

Keith and Laz watching social media speculations about #BM100. Need to go offline for a while - so there's a good chance that a relevant update will hit in a minute or so :-)

NOW ONLINE: “The Edge of Possible: A Barkley Marathons Tale”. A new documentary on the dramatic 2024 #BM100, uploaded within the last 24 hours. 83mins long, it is directed/produced by Simone Luciani and Endorphin Studio Limited. youtu.be/uyX4GRm7NeY?... cc @keithdunn.bsky.social
