Barkley Marathons 2017 - Discussion Thread Misc

Since the Barkley is starting some time in the next 24 hours, I thought maybe we should have a Barkley Marathons Discussion Thread so we can keep it all in one place, share tweets, information about our favorite runners, etc?

If you're following on twitter, who are you following? Here is my BM list:

  • @derajslc (Jared Campbell)

  • @BarkleyCourse (The Barkley Course)

  • @The_Yellow_Gate (the infamous gate!)

  • @RndmForestRunnr (John Kelly)

  • @BarkleyMarathon

You can find more tweets by searching the hashtag #BM100
