Rain on plastic. Cold Tennessee air. And the architect of chaos watching it all unfold. Repost for a chance of winning a 4x6 print. I’ll select 40 at random to celebrate the 40th edition of the Barkley Marathons. #bm100 #barkleymarathons 📸 share.google/eGSiSrAnE3J1...

La réalité est qu’on n’a pas de ministre de la Justice en France, juste une personnalité spécialisée dans le commentaire douteux et sans consistance d’un événement à l’autre. On a au mieux un ministre de la Prison.

« Condamnée » ? Fort heureusement, ce ne sont pas les mots du ministre français de la Justice, alors qu'une enquête pénale est en cours. (Oh wait...)

🚨Flag alert🚨 There's a Lithuanian flag visible in this photo 🇱🇹 (The runner up front is Oscar Michalak) #BM100 @taka-does-stuff.bsky.social again, and again, and again 😅

The first guy is Stephen Redfern. #BM100

A documentary that's mainly a race recap. We learn the French contingent rented a house and spent a week together. For my English-speaking friends, skip to the end (22:30) for some comments from Carl and Laz. www.youtube.com/watch?v=xO0a... #BM100

Je souhaite d'excellentes vacances amplement méritées à Marbella aux joueurs de l'Olympique de Marseille.

A new sets of beautiful photos by David Miller on his Instagram account. #BM100

Like many others, I was captivated by how fresh Alysa Liu's performance was last night. I had the competition on in the background, checking in occasionally before I got drawn in. What energy and what an incredible competitive level. Thank you ladies!"

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

New video from Jegard, right after the finish. Very difficult to make out the conversation with all the background noise. I'm still impressed by how fresh both runners look (we're less than 30 minutes after Seb finished, as Damian hasn't arrived yet). 1/4 www.facebook.com/share/v/1B6F... #BM100

@taka-does-stuff.bsky.social Latvian guy is Andris Ansabergs : www.instagram.com/andrisansabe... You can perfectly see him on this video by Remy Jegard : www.facebook.com/share/v/1Fcn... #BM100

Je crois qu'on peut dire, sans prendre trop de risques, que la France est la meilleure nation actuelle au biathlon. #Olympics2026

@taka-does-stuff.bsky.social A new name for this edition : Peter Mortimer from Flagstaff, Arizona. He ran with Jeff Garmire and Lee Alonzo Murphy and ended Loop 1 over the cutoff. His report is very interesting (for you too @davidblank1.bsky.social ) www.instagram.com/pjmortimer/ #BM100

J'apprends ce soir avec une grande tristesse le décès de Frederick Wiseman, grand maître du documentaire, de l'observation minutieuse des institutions et des Etats-Unis. Un regard franc, direct sublimé par son montage. Un sens de l'économie pour un cinéma naturel. Merci pour tout, maître.

@taka-does-stuff.bsky.social The runner from Japan was Akihiro Maeda. He says that he didn't finish the first lap. #BM100

Go check out Emily Cameron's Instagram : @ecam44 Fantastic footage on Instagram about this edition, and I'm not exaggerating. #BM100

Aurélien Sanchez will attempt to break the Pacific Crest Trail FKT (supported) next summer, which is currently held by another Barkley finisher: Karel Sabbe. #BM100

Sébastien Raichon has already post his report of the race on Instagram. What's new in this interview compared to his L'Equipe one ? A new thread ! #BM100 1/6

First interview of Sébastien Raichon by the french newspaper L'Equipe : www.lequipe.fr/Ultra-trail/... For my English-speaking friends, some excerpts belows. ABOUT THE WEATHER "We did two loops without rain. But on the third one, we ran through the storm... #BM100 1/8

Aurélien Sanchez just posted a short video on Facebook about his transition between Loop 1 and Loop 2. He said : 'We had some navigation errors, especially at the end. It's rough out there. But we had a solid loop honestly.' www.facebook.com/reel/2432927... #BM100

@taka-does-stuff.bsky.social Hi, some new names from Rémy Jegard who were an insider again this year : - Guillaume Calmettes and Thomas Calmettes were here, but I don't know if both are running - Ronan Pierre, a french runner, was on the race #BM100

If you want to see the video of Sébastien's finish, it's here : www.facebook.com/runningmag Thanks to Rémy Jegard for sharing. #BM100

Vu une vidéo avec les premiers mots de Sébastien Raichon dès son arrivée, face à Laz et tous les coureurs et assistants réunis : 'Carl, Laz, je ne serais sans doute jamais finisher de la Barkley. C'était trop dur. Je suis tellement fier de ce que j'ai réalisé ce week-end, c'était dur ... #BM100

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

Sébastien Raichon finished loop 3 in 38:05:46 and is credited with a Fun Run. #BM100

@taka-does-stuff.bsky.social Just a guess but I suppose Max King is the 'knee guy'. Last year, he had to drop out on loop 1 due to a knee injury.

On s'en doutait dès le 1er tour au vu des temps de passage : pas de finisher cette année. Mais on espère voir Sébastien Raichon et @ultradamo.bsky.social terminer courageusement la Fun Run ! #BM100

Keith@keithdunn.bsky.social · 6mo ago

A runner has to begin loop 4 by the 36 hour mark in order to continue. Neither Damian nor Sébastien will finish loop 3 in time to begin loop 4; however, if they complete loop 3 within 40 hours they will be credited with a Fun Run. #BM100

Quoi qu'il arrive, il faut mesurer l'exploit gigantesque de Sébastien Raichon qui remportait la terrible Spine Race (430 km / 267 miles) il y a de cela un mois tout pile. Cet homme est une machine ! #BM100
