Laz’s finishers stories part 2 is out over on mushbook to read… At the Barkley, finishers often come through the pipeline; runners who fail again & again but show the rare mix of skill, toughness & stubbornness the race demands. #BM100
Barkley Marathon@barkleymarathon.bsky.social · 5mo agoLaz’s latest thoughts out over on mushbook: Barkley Marathons isn’t just any old race; it’s a brutally selective test of human spirit & endurance. Not just a race; not fair; not doable; & often defying finishers yet a rare handful of extraordinary that have bent the impossible.

Very long report from Mathieu Blanchard to read on Facebook and Instagram. Here's what he says. First off, Mathieu is very well-known in France. Along with Courtney Dauwalter, he's probably the biggest name to run Barkley. 1/10 #BM100
Fantastic #BM100 report by Mathieu; not only interested detail about the race & course. But never knew he was born out of reality tv…kinda 😆 Details of the race still coming in, can’t be many more race reports to come out now. But a few more runners names to find. 🏃🏻♂️
