I have been remiss in not posting this but the #BM100 and the #BFC50k exist because of Frozen Head State Park. This is our opportunity to show our appreciation and help support the work of the park. Please consider donating. tnstateparksconservancy.org/my-tn-state- […]

While this year’s #BM100 is over, you can relive last year’s race with two documentaries: The Finisher: Jasmin Paris and the Barkley Marathons is at youtu.be/PgTEsybXw-4

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

John Kelly finished Loop 3 in 39:50:27. #BM100

John Kelly, who is credited with a Fun Run, tapped himself out, after which Sébastien Raichon was tapped out. Tomokazu Ihara is still on the course after 40 hours. #BM100

Sébastien Raichon comes in two minutes before the 40 cutoff but did not complete the loop. #BM100

John Kelly @RndmForestRunnr finished Loop 3 in 39:50:27. #BM100

15 minutes left for the Fun Run and we have yet to see a runner’s light. #BM100

30 minutes left for the Fun Run and we have yet to see a runner’s light. #BM100

Under one hour left for the Fun Run and we have yet to see a runner’s light. #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 rain has started and the wind has really picked up. Less than 1:20 remain for the runners to finish Loop 3. #BM100

Two hours left for the Fun Run and we have yet to see a runner’s light. #BM100

We are 36 hours into the race, meaning the three runners still on Loop 3 cannot continue to Loop 4. However, if they complete Loop 3 within 40 hours they will be credited with a Fun Run. That’s where the real race is now. #BM100

It’s dark out here. And windy. #BM100

Tomo and John have passed the Fire Tower; John about 30 minutes behind Tomo. #BM100

Maxime Gauduin quit on Loop 3 with no pages and is tapped out. Three runners remain in the race. #BM100

Tim Landy is still on Loop 2 and has timed out. Whenever he returns to camp he will be tapped out. Four runners are on Loop 3. #BM100

Ian Farris quit on Loop 2 and has been tapped out. #BM100

It has become necessary for the race to have two buglers. #BM100
