What It ACTUALLY Took To Finish Barkley Marathon | Jasmin Paris

The Running Channel Meets is where we talk to real runners with incredible stories. Each episode we speak with people who inspire us to run, and give our guests an opportunity to tell their stories, often for the first time.

In this episode we chat with Jasmin Paris. In 2024 Jasmin made history by becoming the first female finisher of the Barkley marathons, an infamous ultramarathon race held each year in Frozen Head State Park in Morgan County, Tennessee. We discuss what drives Jasmin to run, how she trained to complete Barkley and after making history, how does she decide what comes next?

The Running Channel Meets was born from The Running Channel podcast. Hosted by Sarah Hartley (amateur runner) and Andy Baddeley (former pro runner) alongside Rick Kelsey (recovering runner), the TRC Podcast is friendly, jargon-free, and the perfect accompaniment to your runs.
