Jasmin Paris
Jasmin Karina Paris MBE (born November 1983) is a British runner who has been a national fell running champion and who has set records for the Bob Graham Round and the Ramsay Round. In 2024, she became the first woman to successfully complete the Barkley Marathons.
She won the 2016 Skyrunner World Series Sky Extreme category, and a bronze medal at the 2016 Skyrunning World Championships in the Sky Ultra category. She received significant media attention for beating the all-time men's course record by 12 hours at the 2019 Spine Race.
She is a senior lecturer in the Royal (Dick) School of Veterinary Studies at the University of Edinburgh.
Paris was born in Manchester and grew up in the Peak District. She attended Manchester High School for Girls. She has an undergraduate degree from the University of Liverpool (2008) and a Ph.D. from the University of Edinburgh (2020). Her doctoral thesis was "Novel regulators of cancer stem cell biology in acute myeloid leukaemia."
While at the University of Liverpool, Paris was a member of the Open Air Club which encouraged outdoor pursuits. However, she did not start running until she left university in 2008 and was working in Glossop near her home town of Hadfield in Derbyshire, although she had done some backpacking and walked a lot in the fells. After a twelve-month sabbatical in Minnesota, she returned to the UK, moved to Edinburgh in 2010 and began to take running more seriously.
She has performed particularly well in the longer fell races. Her wins include the Three Peaks Race, Wasdale, Borrowdale, the Langdale Horseshoe, the Ennerdale Horseshoe and the Isle of Jura, and she has won the Lakeland Classics Trophy series.
Paris won the Scottish Hill Running Championships in 2014 and 2015 and in 2015 and 2018 she won the British Fell Running Championships.
In 2015, Paris began to be more prominent in ultra distance running. In April that year, she set a new women's record of 11:09 in the Fellsman, finishing fourth overall, and in June, she was the first female finisher and second overall in the five-day Dragon's Back Race in Wales.
