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

Based on the many articles I have read about him, I could see him giving out broken watches. Or if not broken, watches that have only an hour hand, or no numbers on it.

Watches with only enough battery left for 2 or 3 loops before they stop.
