Y'all, this is 100% not how I expected this to go. It turns out, I'm not crazy! Not only was I not hallucinating, but what remained of my mind correctly identified someone I think I hadn't seen since high school. But the kids were way too old for hiking backpacks. #bm100

[J-F Veilleux @jfveilleux]

@keithdunn Thanks @keithdunn for all the updates!

[Keith @keithdunn]

The 2023 Barkley Marathons is over. There are three finishers. #BM100

[Keith @keithdunn]

Karel Sabbe completed loop five and has finished the 2023 Barkley Marathons in 59:53:33. #BM100

[Gary Robbins @gary_robbins]

@keithdunn Hell yeah!

Huge congrats to all 3 finishers this year!

Way to get it done Karel, John & Aureline!

Massive respect 👏👏👏

[Keith @keithdunn]

John Kelly @RndmForestRunnr completed loop five and has finished the 2023 Barkley Marathons in 58:42:23. John is the third runner to finish the Barkley Marathons more than once. #BM100

[Keith @keithdunn]

Aurelian Sanchez completed loop five and has finished the 2023 Barkley Marathons in 58:23:12. A bit of a challenge near the end - a day hiker removed one of the books, believing the race was over. #BM100

Waiting for an #KarelSabbe update like

@keithdunn Keith has been planning for years on how to get a following big enough so he could bring back this burger. Tweeting mid-fifth lap is about peak audience. Now how do we make this happen for him? Who’s got some pull at McDonalds?

[Keith @keithdunn]

For the first time in the history of the #BM100, 4 runners are on loop five. laz is concerned this will cause people not to apply next year, as they will perceive the course to be too easy.

[John Kelly @RndmForestRunnr]

And what my kids think I do at Barkley. Actually, this was really hard. 😂 #bm100 #scheduledtweet📷@ultra_damo

[Keith @keithdunn]

Harvey Lewis @HarveyLewisRuns and two others came the Tower at 4:12 (time of day).

[Keith @keithdunn]

Good news for the runners: not all the water jugs at the Tower were frozen solid. #BM100

[Keith @keithdunn]

Through the tower so far (actual descriptions given to me): guy with glasses, guy with funny pants, nondescript guy, a real big smiling guy, a tan guy, the guy with a big grin, small European woman, tall guy with Mohawk-ish hair, another guy, tall guy with black beard. #BM100

[John Kelly @RndmForestRunnr]

As a kid there were few things more exciting than having friends over. For me #bm100 has become the equivalent - showing people my home mountains & having fun all night(s) long. Welcome y'all. We're gonna have a good ole time.🙂(w/ some friendly competition) 😉 #scheduledtweet

Laz has cheekily given @NickySpinks the number 1️⃣ bib for Barkley Marathons 2023.

Go prove him wrong, Nicky!

[Keith @keithdunn]

The conch was blown at 8:54. The 2023 Barkley Marathons begins in one hour. #BM100.
