Who is the winner of Barkley Marathons (2024) that requires the participants to navigate 100 miles of rugged terrain within 60 hours?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
The correct answer is Option (4) → Jasmin Paris
The British ultra-runner Jasmin Paris finished the Barkley Marathons in Frozen Head State Park, Tennessee, in March 2024 with 99 seconds to spare inside the 60-hour cut-off. She became the first woman ever to complete the race in its history going back to 1986.
Gary Cantrell, known as Lazarus Lake, is the creator of the event rather than a competitor, Karl Henn co-founded it with him, and Martin Luther King Jr. has no connection with the race.
