The Barkley Marathon: No Finishers, But History Made
No Finishers at the 2022 Barkley Marathon
The Barkley Marathon, considered one of the world's hardest footraces, has once again claimed victory with no finishers on its 2022 course. Despite the grueling 60-mile course and unforgiving conditions, none of the 40 runners who started the race managed to cross the finish line within the 60-hour time limit.
Jasmin Paris Makes History
While there were no finishers in this year's race, history was still made. Jasmin Paris, a professional ultrarunner, became the first woman to finish the Barkley Marathon in 2019. Her achievement shattered the previous record and inspired countless others to pursue their own ultramarathon dreams.
Despite her success in 2019, Paris was unable to complete the race this year. However, her legacy continues to inspire runners worldwide, proving that anything is possible with determination and resilience.
