Running in the dark to hopefully see the light. Mental Health. Really just here for #bm100

It seems that #bm100 will now be a winter race moving forward. This is both environmentally sound and insidiously torturous. I wonder if the other important dates of the timeline will be adjusted accordingly.

This Dutch article states that Barkley will from now on take place earlier in the year because of climate change. Barkley in March of April would disturb wildlife and vegetation growth too much. #bm100

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

The 2026 Barkley Marathons began with one of the strongest fields ever. The starting field came from 15 Counties as well as 15 States, and included ten women. The course seemed not to care. Over 70% of the field is done. #BM100

Another runner has finished loop 1 while at the same time the first woman begins loop 2. 10 runners are on loop 2, 2 are in camp, 3 have quit. Runners have less than 30 minutes to complete loop 1 and be out on loop 2. #BM100
