The Barkley Marathons 2024. Conch shell at the ready...

[Taylormiffed]

No idea when it will start. Follow @ keithdunn on twitter as he's usually the only journo who attends.

Let's hope for another safe race. Maybe a woman can finish for the first time and hopefully there'll be a handful of Brits to cheer on. Although tbh, I'll cheer on anyone crazy enough to attempt it.

Was there only 25 mins or so between Ihor and Damian then 15 mins until Jasmin left? I think other spectators would have tweeted if they saw them on rat jaw.

Ihor does seem to be a machine though so may have gained a lot of time.

Oh brilliant thank you!!!! Come on Jasmin 🙏

I think that's about right yes. Haven't seen any news on Damian unless I have missed something.

That's uncomfortably tight

Anyone seen any update for Damian?

Or even Sebastien - no-one with a loop 4 split that long has ever finished within cut off, so it would be minor miracle if he pulled it off. And it would be nice to know if he's doing OK

I've only done 100ks and it is the eating enough for me too. I have to concentrate on eating early and keeping it up, a little bit every hour whether I can face it or not, but I always end up with not enough food in me.

I love going through the night into dawn, there is something very special about those in between hours. However, I've always been able to use my gps or had markers to follow and it is always on trail, so it's an entirely different kettle of fish.

I'm getting worried that Jasmin won't make cut off. Please Jasmin, go quick!

The suspense is awful!

But the maximum is now a mere 3 hours 1 min!

At the fire tower.

Is anyone following harveylewisuntrarunner on instagram? He's been posting recently. Jasmin has passed the tower so it's tight but possible.

Saw a video of her descending a hill after tower, Still running strong.

That'll be Rat Jaw - does anyone have the time she passed the tower?

And has anyone spotted Damo?

Even with the latest royal news spreading like a tsunami across twitter, #smalleuropeanwoman is still trending!!

I so much want her and Jared to finish

Yes, #12 in UK.

Dropped off the list now, though. Not too surprising but when she gets back to camp it will be a different story, regardless of camp, I'd guess.

2.15 hours to go........

1mWith two hours left in the race, the bugler has left his vehicle. #BM100

Informative!

I knew they have messing with the runners' minds down to a fine art, I didn't realise they did that to their virtual audience of feed-watchers too!

Not nice of him to say that!!

I like one of the many responses to this tweet which was something like 'This isn't even code'.

It's not taps, it's just a car alarm

I’ve forgotten: what’s the significance of the bugle? Out of time?

Apparently the bugle has been placed by the gate. Argh!

Noooo!

Out of time or unable to go on
