Partnerships at Barkley are fragile. Run together while it helps but the moment one slows, you leave. Laz calls the worst pairing host and parasite; 🦠 one navigating, one surviving. If only one runner is doing the work, both are doomed. Barkley exposes every weakness. #BM100

Legends of the pipeline: Horton losing his glasses mid-race and quitting; Wood stopped by a raging river; Tilden beating Nelson by 3 minutes after Nelson took a 10-minute nap on loop 5. 😴 At Barkley you don’t have to be the best at anything but you must be good at everything. #BM100

Barkley Marathon @barkleymarathon.bsky.social · 08/03/2026

But the Barkley is fickle; it dangles hope then snatches it away. Many enter the pipeline… few ever escape it.

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

Laz’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. 🏃🏻‍♂️

Where did Seb say that? Can only go on what Damo said in both interviews now and also his crew that was hanging around with Keith and co.

Emily Cameron found some wonderful words for her debut at the #bm100 as a photographer. She totally respected and embraced the Spirit of the Event. I hope she is allowed to come back.

2024 Barkiey Marathons Reflections -
Prior to ariving in Frozen Head, I was told by other Barkley vets that you/one comes away from the weekend with 60 new frends. I believe this to be so incredibly truthful.
The mysteriousness of the Bartley Marathons and the general sentiment around secrecy with regards to the happenings on race weekend is somerning I was very aware of and took very seriously, I had the privilege of being there to do the very thing that honestly can contribute to taking away the allure of the event if not being thoughtful with where I was pointing my camera. I was quite intimidated if I'm being honest. I felt like a bit of an imposter in this tight-knit, internationally represented community. The goal was and is to connect and tell the story of the women present and attempting the 2026 Barkley Marathons. Slowly, I came out of my shell thanks to a few wonderful interviews and silly moments. I had so much hope -like so many Barkley Virgins - that this year there would be a finisher.
Over the course of 38 hours - I learned very quickly, you need a lot more than a bucket of hope to finish or even complete a damn lap at this event. I learned that through shared suffering, hardship, and collective insanity-people that run this thing test every single ??? they have for themselves. It was a beautiful thing to witness and an immense responsibility + honor to document. What Laz, Carl and the rest of the Barkley community have created is unlike any other sporting event I have encountered. I hope to return one day, but that is not up to me.

Yep Rat Jaw was well and truely in the mix. Sounds like the course had extra miles and climbs from what Damo had to say.
