Lol, you’ve shown us! You see through the hype of stuff and show us how fickle we are. You win the Internet today!
Three time finisher Jared Campbell OUT due to a very badly twisted ankle. Pics are pretty nasty.
Calmettes, Greg Hamilton, Karel Sabbe, Tomokazu Ihara on 3rd loop.
Coury and Johan Steene have finished two loops.
Only the first 3 were under 24 hours for 2 loops.
Dang, wasn't expecting John Kelley to voluntarily tap.
The Barkley is going to win this year.

Kudos to both of them for even going out for the 4th loop, knowing it's going to be impossible. As Gary Robbins said though, if you have a chance to go out and get course experience for a 4th loop, at night, you do it. It's the one time the entire year you can actually run the course, so you might as well get any little bit of an advantage if you plan to come back.
I can only sit here and imagine what it's like when you are 36 hours in to the race and yet have only done 60% of the distance and you are facing an entire night "out there" with temps below freezing.
Karrel Sabbe is the only one left in the race now.
Current fkt holder on the Appalachian trail (supported)

But you excel at picking wives, Sage.
Bravo!
Maybe there is some merit to this. Check out this guys bio who was not granted entry. Surely had a better chance than most of finishing.
Meant to quote a comment on them rarely letting in elites or legitimate threats. Oops

Based on what? OCR and Tough Mudder experience has never proven to be worth crap at Barkley. Sorry, but it hasn't.

Unlike most Letsrunners, who are virgins.

Would need a lot more context. Did he actually properly follow and fulfill the bizarre application requirements? I don't see many results for this guy on Ultrasignup, and nothing over 50 miles.

Over 100 miles on worlds toughest mudder mulitiple times (24 hours)
85 miles in 22 hours in Spartan Race 24 hour race (took place in Iceland in December)
Abandoned Bruce trail FKT after around 400km in four days because of a foot infection
Multiple other FKT
10 day through ski across algonquin park in Ontario
Multiple mountain races
Sub 15 5k on the roads
You could argue this is worth more than some run of the mill 100k or 100 miler
