Sebastien Raichon's Fun Run this year is well over an hour faster than John Kelly's last year, and in far worse conditions. The course won, but Seb crushed it all things considered. I can't wait to hear all the stories that come out from this year! #bm100

If you want to see the video of Sébastien's finish, it's here : www.facebook.com/runningmag Thanks to Rémy Jegard for sharing. #BM100

De Nederlandse Noor van der Veen deed dit jaar mee aan de Barkley Marathons: We spraken haar vlak na haar Barkley in het onherbergzame Frozen Head State Park in de Amerikaanse staat Tennessee. ‘De Barkley was een langgekoesterde droom’. 👇🏼 hardloopnetwerk.nl/de-barkley-w... #BM100

Damian Hall came in off loop 3, but without collecting all his pages and is the last to face the bugler. Fog, cold, and the wet weather were factors. #BM100

The 2026 Barkley Marathons is over. There are no finishers. #BM100

~95 minutes to go; congrats Seb! #bm100

Sébastien Raichon finished loop 3 in 38:05:46 and is credited with a Fun Run. #BM100

It’s been 3 hours and 20 minutes since Sèbastein was seen at the fire tower and he is still not back at camp yet. Damian Hall has 3 hours and 10 minutes to get back to camp for a fun run and there has been no word of him reaching the fire tower yet. Seb had daylight too 😬 #BM100

Barkley Marathons course rundown for 2026. Recent changes, some course stats, and how its impacted recent performance. Distance and elevation are calculated as lines on map as if someone stayed 'perfectly on course'. #bm100 #BarkleyMarathon A Thread 🧵(1/8) '26 changes at (5/8)

Iain Bethune checking in on his time out there #bm100

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

‘Allegedly’. Imagine the hubbub if this is a hoax 🤣 #bm100

So we did get a couple more come in off loop one during the night at some point! Latest meeple view of #bm100

A few words from @ultradamo.bsky.social on speaking out. #ProgressNotPerfection Having set out on loop 5 last year at the #BM100, can he progress to the next step and finish this year? #GoDamo

À peine 13 heures pour faire la 3ème boucle si ils veulent prolonger l'aventure. Majoritairement de jour et en sens horaire, c'est jouable. Ils sont bien parti pour la FunRun. Blanchard bien accompagné pour sa première. #BM100

Today’s weather forecast Frozen Head State Park: rain for the next 18hrs or so, 7-10 degrees (Celsius) and a moderate breeze #bm100

laz: How’s it going Damian? Damian Hall: Probably exactly how you want it to be going. #BM100

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

‘21 hours of racing and there are only 8 runners in the running on loop 2. Suffice it to say that we are not likely to see finishers this year. The race ate its little ones one after the other.’

Love how the #SpineRace feed bsky.app/profile/dani... Has quietly morphed into a #BM100 feed for the weekend

First year EVER for Laz to start Barkley on a counterclockwise loop. The result? 32 runners still on loop one after 11 hours!! #BM100

Found it! #bm100 barkley.ferrett.io

IN SUMMARY: #BM100

Now we’re serious #bm100

Due to construction 🚧, a change to The Gate at this year's BARKLEY. #BM100 is a Go.

Last night a Dead Cow Gully, Phil Gore got a new #backyardultra world record with 119 Loops. Sam Harvey with the 118 Loop assist. #ultrarunning

Yeah, but are they having fun? Almost new world record time in Australia… #ultrarunning #backyardultra

Sam Harvey and Phil Gore are into loop 108, on night FIVE of #DeadCowGully #BackyardUltra The record is 116 loops. I feel tired this morning because I unconsciously pulled the blanket off my fiancée a couple of times in the night and she had to wake me up to get it back 🤣 #ultrarunning #running

I’ve had a full night’s sleep since the last post. 2 still standing on loop 106 at #DeadCowGully #ultrarunning

I made this Pride flag using only NASA images and our team thought it would be cool to share on social (I work on the NASA heliophysics communications team), but it's getting all sorts of hate on the bird app and Fbook. Thought y'all might be more appreciative of it here. ☺️🏳️‍🌈💖

May the cool sound reach you as well.

Meanwhile in Australia 👀 #ultrarunning

It’s been a really, really, really good evening 🤩

If ever you need to have your faith in humans restored, come to the @spinerace.bsky.social Run it, volunteer at it, hand out flapjacks on the course. Whatever you put into the #SpineRace you get back in buckets ❤️

➡️ The Montane Summer Spine Challenger North begins at 08:00 In Hardraw, one group of runners are anxiously anticipating the start of their 160 mile test on the trails… #SummerSpine #BritainsMostBrutal

As the runners in the Montane Summer Spine Challenger North and MRT Challenge North start their journey toward Kirk Yetholm and glory, here’s your Monday morning update from @willbaldlygo.bsky.social Part 1… #SpineRace #SummerSpine

My usual pre #spinerace digs are set up, my spreadsheets have been wrestled into cooperation and my camera batteries are charging. 1 sleep until #summerspine 2025 🎉

Me every time I walk into a room for the next 10 days… It’s nearly Summer #SpineRace time!

‘for those who prefer smaller races with a more local vibe, there’s a fantastic range to choose from right across the UK’ They’ll stay smaller races if UTMB take charge of #trailrunning #ultrarunning in the UK. I want to see coverage of unique, independent races with all their local character!

This is one for Green Runners living in the SE of England. Looking for a new running challenge with easy access using public transport? Look no further than the London Spiral. PS Ultra runners please note, there’s no Thames crossing between crossing at Dartford and Purfleet. #HowWeMove

Seems it’s time to dust off the Lady Hale T-Shirt again!

Green Runner John Kelly is going for the Appalachian Trail FKT and in doing so raising money for Hurricane Helene recovery. Dot watching will commence on Sunday! Go John!

This highlights a great point re #AI I have very little coding/dev experience, but I’ve been trying a few no/low-code tools to build systems that retrieve + analyse data from local sources. AI tools have helped me make these systems, but the systems usually work best when code/maths does the work…

John ‘randomforestrunner’ Kelly sets off this Sunday on the Appalachian Trail! He’ll be sharing updates on the area’s ongoing recovery from Hurricane Helene, a subject close to his heart #legend Learn more and show your support here: www.gofundme.com/f/hurricane-... #ultrarunning #running 🧵
