What do you prefer?
Do you want images or videos during the race or do you want to live in a text-based world and let you headcanon do the rest?

I much prefer Keith and a very select group of photographers at Ray Jaw and the gate being the sole source of live documentation. The mystery is part of the fun for me

*Rat Jaw. I just can't type this afternoon 😅

I personally did not like that complete media coverage. The race is a mystery and all that cameras and documentations .. it's to much for me.

It's okay, that there are some documentations, but for me it'is simply too much that every year there's another one.

I think you'll like this year's edition then...

To be honest, I'm not that interested in the race anymore, as it has become more and more likely that there will be finishers

Hey @ratjaw.bsky.social - Please, do your magic, and prove Benni wrong! :-D

The Barkleys is more about creating media content than racing

#TeamASCII - but nevertheless I do like the tiny pic/vid glimpses. I think the delayed information (was about five to ten minutes, IIR) about Jazmin's finish was one of the "best" aspects in 2024 about this somehow-mystery-storytelling-thing named #BM100

Hot take: I think official coverage and race reports should come in the form of proper HS.Thomspon style Gonzo journalism. Wouldn't require sharing any true or relevant information about the race, fits the spirit of the Barkleys, adds more chaos whilst claiming to provide clarity. Perfect format.

I would totally read (and maybe contribute to) this format! Some comments or memes in the past did that. Remember the Milk Carton where Mike Wardian was photoshopped onto it like a Lost Child because he was so spectacularly lost on his first and only loop?

Nobody can make pictures about what is going on in your head during races like this.

Genuinely think the way it is with occasional glimpses from the course/what's happening + the fairly extensive followup works pretty perfectly

I mean, trail running isn't exactly a spectator sport anyways
