Last year (2023), Gary Cantrell (Laz) was inducted into the American Ultrarunning Hall of Fame as its 24th member. So well-deserved. Thanks, Laz, for your impact on the sport. https://t.co/l80L7EPtsW

This is one of the most impressive athletic achievements ever, in any sport. What it takes:
-one of the best ultra athletes ever
-major navigation skills
-multi-year focus on solving the event's demands and lore
@JasminKParis dares us all to dream bigger. Superhuman 😭🧡 #BM100
She did it!!! Jasmin Paris, never in doubt!
I cannot believe how fortunate I feel to have witnessed one of the greatest days in ultra running history firsthand today.
Congrats to the guys too I guess, Ihor Verys, John Kelly, Jared Campbell, and Greig Hamilton. 😆

History was made at the 2024 edition of the Barkley Marathons!
Jasmin Paris became the first woman to ever finish the event, and a record-breaking five runners finished. https://t.co/B6DBm3tPiv
I'm guessing about 10k people around the planet are frantically refreshing their Twitter in the hopes that a woman 99% of us (me included) had never heard of five days ago finishes a 60 hour trail race around the mountains of East Tennessee in the next 8 minutes. #BM100 #smalleuropeanwoman
Best use of @Twitter ever.
Who would have thought that the sole purpose that emerged for twitter/x would be runner nerds following updates about a secret ultra in the woods of Tennessee? #BM100
This footage of Jared Campbell @derajslc offering @JasminKParis (#smalleuropeanwoman) the choice of direction (after 46 hours of the toughest #running) is some of the most incredible sportsmanship I have ever seen… (it may have created a watery situation in my eyes!) #BM100
Sebastien Raichon appeared to have finished loop four, but failed to follow the course near the end of the loop. After correcting his error he finished the loop in 47:45:39. #BM100
