The Finisher: Jasmin Paris and the Barkley Marathons

Directed by Jules Campanelli, Finn Melanson

In 2024, Jasmin Paris made history by becoming the first woman to finish the Barkley Marathons, widely known as one of the hardest races in the world and a defining test in ultrarunning and trail running. With over 100 miles of brutal terrain, cryptic course markings, and a near-impossible success rate, the Barkley has long been considered the ultimate challenge in endurance sports. The Finisher" chronicles Jasmin’s extraordinary three-year journey (2022–2024) to achieve this groundbreaking feat.
