The last two #BM100 have been ones for the history books, one for sucess and one for failure. 2025 saw: fewest fun runs finished since 2006 (1) 2nd slowest loop1 for the leader (9:44) fewest loop1 finishes EVER (10) …(1/3)

Runners have 2 hours to finish loop 3 for the privilege of dropping 2 straight sub 12 hour loops for a finish. Easy peasy lemon squeezy! Hopefully John packed a few Sonic Blasts! #bm100

Genuinely looking forward to hearing what these two, both super familiar with the course, have to say about this year’s version #bm100

random #bm100 maths; for Tomo to go onto loop 3, he'd need a loop 3 time of 11:27:10; his prior loop 3 finishes were 15:13:08, 13:08:46, and 12:34:22, so this would be a bit of a stretch. However, he has a leisurely 15:27:10 to complete a fun run -- totally do-able. 1/2

What we know and speculation about the changes to the Barkley course in 2025. Seeing the immediate lack of success this year means this should be fun. #BM100 Linking my previous course thread for those who haven't seen it, I think my prediction of "minor changes" was wrong. A thread 🧵 (1/7)

If the number of books and their locations are similar to last year at all, that means they likely didn’t even make it past the fire tower and still took 24 hours to fail the loop and get back to camp. #bm100

bsky.app/profile/keit... I believe the only other time this happened was in 2021 with a US only field and tough course. That year Jared Campbell and Luke Nelson were the only fun run finishers in 39:04. Loop 2 finishers in under 24:00 2025: 0 2024: 12 2023: 12 2022: 5 2021: 0 2019: 3 2018: 3 #bm100

Any word of loop 2 runners reaching the fire tower? If they want to stay on 100 mile pace we should be seeing them soon. #bm100

Number of loop 1 finishers in under 12 hours: 2025: 6 2024: 20 2023: 30 2022: 28 2021: 12 (covid, US only) 2019: 23 2018: 14 2017: 17 2016: 27 2015: 19 One of these things is not like the other 😬 #BM100

A point I saw on Twitter: The heavy storms that went through Frozen Head last weekend could have left the course a muddy mess, which would definitely have an impact on loop times.

The slowest loop1 of a 100mile finisher is John Kelly 9:29 in 2017 (at night). The last time a runner finished loop1 in over 9:30 and still finish a fun run under 36 hours to start loop 4 was Greig Hamilton in 2019. With the leaders taking ~9:45 we might not even see a loop 4 started #BM100

Does anyone have any reports or pictures of the runners getting to the fire tower and if they came from the woods or up Ratjaw? #BM100 #barkleymarathons
