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- […]

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

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
