No finishers in this year’s Valentine’s Day massacre Barkley. Fingers crossed there will be news of two fun runs when I wake up tomorrow #BM100 #bimble Put the kettle on for Damo’s tea!
A runner has to begin loop 4 by the 36 hour mark in order to continue. Neither Damian nor Sébastien will finish loop 3 in time to begin loop 4; however, if they complete loop 3 within 40 hours they will be credited with a Fun Run. #BM100
