Sunset in Petros will be 6:59 PM, race ends at 11:37 PM. Last 4 and a half hours in the dark. Good luck to runners with the hallucinations. #bm100

Good list 👌

After a brief memorial, laz lit the cigarette at 11:37. The 2025 Barkley Marathons has begun. #BM100

See yall at ~5:20 PM EDT

Bold prediction from david blank #bm100 Since 2017, the humans win only when Kelly finishes. Kelly: 3 finishes, 2017, 2023, 2024 Course won: 2018, 2019, 2021, 2022

In 2023 and 2024, runners were first seen at the tower at around 5:35 - 5:45 race time. Should start seeing them in 15- 25 minutes unless significant course changes or they got turned around. #bm100

9:29:25 is the slowest Lap 1 time to finish That was a night time start... I can't say it looks good... #BM100

The first two runners have finished Loop 1 in 9:44:55 and 9:44:57. #BM100

Unless somehow the "slower" sections from loop 1 are "faster" in the CCW direction. I'm really just being hopeful here.

#BM100

This is the fewest loop 1 finishers since at least 1995 - 10 runners By a significant margin. 2021 (US only athletes) - 17 Next "worst" - 18 #bm100 Can't even blame it on BarkleyWeather

~21:13 is the slowest 2-lap time and eventually finish, and we are 15 minutes past that. #bm100

Keith - Update for immediate release: There will be no #bm100 finishers this year. As such, everyone can return to work and get on with their lives and I will see you all again next year where I hope the runners prepare better. Thanks again for coming out to play!

Go John!!

The first Barkley was held in 1986, with three loops, for about 55 miles, 25,000 feet of climbing, with a 24-hour cutoff. Thirteen unlucky runners started. They paid the entry fee of 35 cents. ultrarunninghistory.com/classic/ #BM100

Currently 26:28 race time, runners have only 15 minutes to get to camp and start loop 3 in an attempt at a Fun Run. #BM100 Are there any others on loop 2?

#bm100

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

Everyone with more goals than Alex Ovechkin in NHL history: — no one Cmon now.

Caleb Olson (Nike) wins the 2025 Western States 100 in 14:11:25! This is the second fastest time in race history. He’s joined by his young family at the finish. #WS100
