Jasmin Paris becomes the first woman to conquer the grueling Barkley Marathons in 2024, setting a remarkable milestone in the world of ultramarathons.

Jasmin Paris has made history by becoming the first woman ever to finish the legendary Barkley Marathons in 2024. This ultra marathon, known for its brutal five-loop 100-mile course with elevation gains comparable to climbing Mount Everest twice, has seen only a handful of finishers over the course of 30+ years. The challenging terrain of Frozen Head State Park in East Tennessee has humbled even the most elite ultramarathoners who dared to take on the Barkley Marathon trek.

The Barkley Marathons witnesses a mere five finishers in 2024, with Jasmin Paris leading the pack as the first women's finisher. The race, orchestrated by the enigmatic race director Laz Lake, continues to push competitors to their limits with its diabolically difficult course. The 2024 results showcased Jasmin Paris's historic achievement alongside four male finishers who conquered the demanding race.

Described as the sport's most mythical race, the Barkley Marathons kicked off with a new challenging section that runners found to be 'brambly' and 'pitchy.' Despite its secretive and niche nature, the Barkley Marathons garner immense respect and admiration from those in the know, highlighting the sheer toughness and allure of this ultra marathon.

In a thrilling turn of events, British ultrarunner Jasmin Paris secured her place in ultramarathon history by completing all five loops of the Barkley Marathons with just 99 seconds to spare. Her remarkable feat showcases the grit and determination required to conquer one of the toughest races in the world.
