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

Three hours into the race somebody has dropped. We don’t know who, we don’t know where they are, and we have no idea when they’ll be back, but someone definitely has dropped. #BM100

Not only are we at record numbers of members and growing every day - this is our highest ever poll rating.

We're just getting started.

This is the politics of the 99% Vs the 1% for a country we can all afford to live in - plenty of room to grow.

REAL HOPE. REAL CHANGE. “Starmer’s instinct was to stand by Peter Mandelson, despite the evidence. His resignation now isn’t a matter of principle; it’s simple political expediency. It’s a symbol of a broken politics where the same insiders always fail up. His resignation, like his original appointment, is a sign of a dirty, broken political system.” Zack Polanski Green Party Leader Green Party Promoted by Chris Williams on behalf of The Green Party, both at 78066, London SE16 9GQ

"How long until Mandelson ends up in a high-paid consultancy somewhere? While another washed-up former Westminster insider ends up in Washington?"

@zackpolanski.bsky.social reacts to the resignation of Peter Mandelson, appointed by Keir Starmer as ambassador to the US.

Inspiring how resilient #nature can be. This tree by the Orange Tree was cut down, and twice when it resprouted it was cut back to the bare trunk. Yet here it is today. @richmondcouncil.bsky.social please leave it alone this time: it's not doing any harm & is a sign of hope in worrying times.

Could beavers be the secret to winning the fight against wildfires? First, they were pelts, then pests. But now they are emerging as something else: climate heroes.

Beavers were once seen as a nuisance—now we're rushing to reintroduce them for their climate benefits.

Funny how the 'troublemakers' turn out to be the saviours. Maybe it’s time we treated climate activists more like beavers—and less like pests.

The UN has warned that 14,000 babies in Gaza could die in the next 48 hours.

Stop arming Israel, now!

When will Starmer learn that no matter how good his Nigel Farage impression gets, it won't save him from wipeout at the hands of Reform? Here's another idea - how about doing the work that's needed to actually make people's lives better? 🧵

Happy #AwfulApril everyone 🙃

Energy bills ⬆️ to nearly £2k
Water bills ⬆️ 31% in some areas
Basic food prices 📈

All affect the poorest worst.
All ON TOP of Govt cuts to support for pensioners, children, disabled people.

These are political choices. Labour could have chosen a #WealthTax

A fact few planners and politicians will accept:

If, like me, you're new to this platform, have you considered joining @thegreenrunners.bsky.social? We have 3,000+ members (including Jasmin, Paris, Kilian Jornet, John Kelly) and none of us are perfect, but we do care. The bigger we are the more we can do. Thank you 💚🙏

People who have an abundance of money (more than £10m) won’t have to give anything up if we have a tiny 2% wealth tax (just £200k on £10m) they won’t out on anything. But we could raise a shed load of money to spend on the stuff that needs it - hospitals, schools - even tanks and bombs.

In March 2024, Jasmin Paris made history as the first woman to finish the Barkley Marathons, touching the yellow gate with just 1:39 to spare.

"The Finisher" follows her three-year journey, featuring insights from legends like Lazarus Lake, Jared Campbell, Courtney Dauwalter, and more.

www.irunfar.com/2025-barkley... We have an article featuring the list of all women runners! Loop 1 finishing order is sourced from me and is probably not accurate. #bm100

this year was brutal -- looks like the fewest total loops completed (and average loops per runner) since 1995 #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.

Brilliant! Thanks for sharing this insight into how John looked and sounded when he finished his 2025 Fun Run!
