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

I can confirm that I did Barkley-browse into the wee hours obsessively checking for Damo related updates, and that I would be rubbish at doctoring today.

Noor van der Veen: ‘De Barkley was een langgekoesterde droom’ Op zaterdag 14 februari 12 uur klonk het startschot voor de Barkley Marathons, de beruchte 100-mijlsrace in de Verenigde Staten, waarvan slechts enkelen het lukt om hem uit te lopen. Eén van de veerti...

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’. 👇🏼

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

The source listed in that article says Seb and Damo could still get the fun run. So why are you reporting that Seb is out and the race is over?

Where are you getting that from? There’s been no official post about this.

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

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

Yeah. That makes sense. No need to worry I'm sure.

*worries anyway

Barefoot?
Meaning ‘solo’, right?
Right?!

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

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
