Sebastien Raichon's Fun Run this year is well over an hour faster than John Kelly's last year, and in far worse conditions. The course won, but Seb crushed it all things considered. I can't wait to hear all the stories that come out from this year! #bm100

I can confirm that I did Barkley-browse into the wee hours obsessively checking for Damo related updates, and that I would be rubbish at doctoring today.

Damian Hall came in off loop 3, but without collecting all his pages and is the last to face the bugler. Fog, cold, and the wet weather were factors. #BM100

The source listed in that article says Seb and Damo could still get the fun run. So why are you reporting that Seb is out and the race is over?

It’s been 3 hours and 20 minutes since Sèbastein was seen at the fire tower and he is still not back at camp yet. Damian Hall has 3 hours and 10 minutes to get back to camp for a fun run and there has been no word of him reaching the fire tower yet. Seb had daylight too 😬 #BM100

À peine 13 heures pour faire la 3ème boucle si ils veulent prolonger l'aventure. Majoritairement de jour et en sens horaire, c'est jouable. Ils sont bien parti pour la FunRun. Blanchard bien accompagné pour sa première. #BM100

‘21 hours of racing and there are only 8 runners in the running on loop 2. Suffice it to say that we are not likely to see finishers this year. The race ate its little ones one after the other.’

On waking up this morning I find the answer to my question, in the case of Sam Harvey anyway, was ‘probably not’.

Sam Harvey and Phil Gore are into loop 108, on night FIVE of #DeadCowGully #BackyardUltra The record is 116 loops. I feel tired this morning because I unconsciously pulled the blanket off my fiancée a couple of times in the night and she had to wake me up to get it back 🤣 #ultrarunning #running

Screenshot of a post from the Dead Cow Gully Backyard Ultra Facebook account. It shows 2 runners standing at a start line and reads: WELCOME TO THE 5TH NIGHT
• ••
LOOP 108
Sam Harvey and Phil Gore go into a 5th Night at the Gully.
Phil is doing quick 40 minute loops. Sam is coming in around the 50 minute mark.
They will be alone in blackness for the entire loop until Phil passes Sam on the turn around. It must be a surreal feeling for them both. About 270 runners on the Saturday morning, the course clogged with runners unable to pass in sections.
Now they are all alone on the Wednesday night. The course is exactly the same, but this is a DIFFERENT EVENT NOW.
THE WORLD IS WATCHING LOOP BY LOOP.

I made this Pride flag using only NASA images and our team thought it would be cool to share on social (I work on the NASA heliophysics communications team), but it's getting all sorts of hate on the bird app and Fbook. Thought y'all might be more appreciative of it here. ☺️🏳️‍🌈💖

A pride flag with every color band represented by a NASA image. White is Earth clouds, pink is aurora, blue is the Sun in a specific wavelength, brown is Jupiter clouds, black is the Hubble deep field, red is the top of sprites, orange is a Mars crater, yellow is the surface of Io, green is a lake with algae, blue is Neptune, and purple is the Crab Nebula in a specific wavelength.
