The 2024 Barkley Marathons. Less than two minutes to go. The sixty hour cut off is very nearly up. Around the world, ultra running fans are frantically refreshing X, WhatsApp messages of hope are bouncing off servers, one question… can she do it? A cry goes up, Jasmin Paris appears on the track, a wintry forest behind. At 59 hours 58 minutes and 21 seconds the clock stops, Jasmin is the first woman to ever complete the Barkley Marathons. A new chapter has just been written in the history of long-distance running.
