The 1987 Barkley included 6 marines, with backpacks, canteens, and heavy boots. Their leader told them if they didn’t finish, they would get extra duty. They saw a wolf take down a deer, but didn't finish a loop. ultrarunninghistory.com/classic #BM100

50 mile per hour wind, steady rain, less than 1:15 to go. The runners better be on Ball Bearing Hill if they hope to get here in time. Wherever they are, things are getting intense. This is the Barkley. #BM100

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

Congratulations and consolations to all. Looking forward to hearing stories about the new hellscape (aka course.)

That hurt more than my last 2 finishes. Significantly harder course, and warm (got up to 77F / 25C), but I also made a lot of mistakes. Actually pretty intriguing, back to no longer knowing whether it's something I can do. Will post usual report. Otherwise, till next time. #BM100

BSET-20 "If you belong here, you'll find a way to get here". Jared Campbell(#11) Corollary 1: There are more aspects to getting into the Barkley than knowing when and how to apply.  Knowing only that and no other intangibles will leave one's application on the cutting-room floor.

BSET-21 If you think or declare yourself the "ideal" or "perfect" Barkley sacrificial virgin, by definition you are not.

Have a great race, OBU backyard runners starting today! Sorry to miss the fun. SEOTR Events
