With new chapters, interviews, and a new epilogue!!

Damian made it in but without his pages. Barkley wins again. This shirt is from the BFC but is pretty spot on for this year!! #BM100

Bravo Sébastien 👍 #BM100

Sorry. My brain is not working. Yeah, Sébastien came through a while ago. No sign of Damian.

Damian came through a while ago.

No finishers this year. Sébastien and Damian going for a Fun Run.

Brutal... here's Mathieu after winning the BFC when the big event seemed doable. #BM100

Wait you must, yes... #BM100

A fellow Ultrarunning Magazine columnist!! Go Max! #BM100

It was hot hot hot 🔥 🥵

So, we have Damian Hall, Mathieu Blanchard, Sébastien Raichon, and Max King on loop three. Some hope there. ☠️

Here is a video I shot from last year's BFC of Mathieu Blanchard coming down Rat Jaw. #BM100

A group of eight have come in from loop 1 and face the bugler. The rain has settled in. #BM100

Slaughter

12 runners are on loop 2. Anyone else who is going to continue has to start loop 2 by 7:20, less than ten minutes from now. #BM100

First year EVER for Laz to start Barkley on a counterclockwise loop. The result? 32 runners still on loop one after 11 hours!! #BM100

If you like severe challenges and not following Barkley Keith, here he is:

Watch him!!

Hats off to you, sir. #BM100

"Lazarus Lake may be a sadist, but he isn’t a simple trickster... Wonderful book." -- Nicholas Thompson, CEO, The Atlantic

Due to construction 🚧, a change to The Gate at this year's BARKLEY. #BM100 is a Go.

I remember you!! Met us at the bottom before that left turn. I could write a whole chapter about that climb!! What a day. Most brutal.

I remember this. THIS is the first pitch of that forever climb, Long Ridge?, just out of Winchester turning toward WV??

After a brief memorial, laz lit the cigarette at 6:00am. The 2026 Barkley Marathons has begun. #BM100
