The 2025 Barkley Marathon had the lowest number of Loop 1 Finishers ever. #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.

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

We may see some Loop 3 finishers as the sun is going down. I’ll be at Texas Roadhouse. #BM100

Barkley continues to shred runners, both physically and mentally. #BM100

The question of whether we will see a finisher is quickly shifting to “will we even see a Loop 4 finisher?” #BM100

Lap times for Loop 1 finishers. Anyone else coming in will be tapped out. #BM100

10 runners finished Loop 1. 9 runners began Loop 2. I slept for 9 hours. They did not. #BM100

Sounds like the first lap did a number on several runners. Lots coming back to camp from all different directions. #BM100

Runner spotted at the Fire Tower - which is an accomplishment but still a ways away from the end of the first lap. #BM100

Bugle Count: 2 #BM100

Bugle Count: 1 #BM100

I'd imagine even DNF'ing #BM100 is an athletic achievement in and of itself.

The fastest first lap of Barkley has been just over 8 hours. Don't expect many updates until ~6:00p ET #BM100

Barkley already trending on BlueSky

If you're new to following #BM100 let me introduce you to our favorite tradition. If you have a cat, you must post a picture of them with the #BM100 hashtag. If you don't have a cat.. go adopt a cat, and then post a picture of them using the #BM100 hashtag.

The Barkley Marathons Historical Spreadsheet will be updated with athletes/timing as it's known. This will be your go-to resource for current race status. Updated in real-time-ish. LINK: docs.google.com/spreadsheets... #BM100

59 hours left in the #BM100. It’s time to start with the “Has anyone seen [athlete]!?” posts.

#BM100 It’s time

#Thanksgiving, everyone. Whether or not it’s happy, you can decide.

Hi @bsky.app - meet Bella

Looks like @bsky.app got me in the divorce. Lucky you.
