Jasmin Paris MBE is a historic British ultrarunner, veterinary scientist, and environmental advocate who has redefined the limits of human endurance. Born in Manchester in 1983, she grew up exploring the Peak District, which sparked her lifelong passion for mountain running. Paris achieved global acclaim in March 2024 by becoming the first-ever female finisher of the world's most grueling ultramarathon, the Barkley Marathons. She shattered the 38-year barrier by completing the brutal 100-mile course with just 99 seconds to spare before the strict 60-hour cutoff. This historic achievement followed her legendary 2019 victory at the 268-mile Montane Spine Race, which she won outright, smashing the overall course record by more than 12 hours while famously expressing breastmilk for her infant daughter at checkpoints. Her athletic resume also includes multiple British Fell Running Championships and a Skyrunner World Series title.
