Jasmin Paris and Jared Campbell. Last Barkley Loop 2024

[@b3108]

@2:52 - in case you wanna hear Jared’s words to Jasmin…

[@ragsAI]

Hi. I'm confused. What's the rule? Ihor started loop 5 first and he chose clockwise (CW) direction so that sets the direction for the rest of the runners, right? So why did Campbell run CCW and seemed to have the right for Jasmin's direction? Thanks for anyone who'd like to enlighten me.

[@MrManicola]

@@ragsAI the next runner up was #5 so it was CW - Jared was ready to go, but waited so that Jasmin started #5 in CW and he started #6 in CCW

[@ragsAI]

​@@MrManicola hmm for now I guess, whoever starts loop 5 first, the next will go the opposite direction, and then the next to that person is the same as the first one. So like, if R1, R2, R3, R4, are the runners in that order of starting loop 5, and R1 takes CW, then R1 = CW R2 = CCW R3 = CW R4 = CCW Is that correct? Thanks.

[@MrManicola]

@@ragsAI yes.

[@lindsaynewell6319]

You have to be pretty deep into Barkley to realize what an awesome and significant moment this was. Fingers crossed that they both make history today.

[@martijnvdbergh1443]

They did. And she broke the record for slowest finisher ever. And the winner spoke some legendary wordt too: why there isnt a 6th lap 😀

[@KGG966]

@@martijnvdbergh1443and you broke the record of doing nothing

[@martijnvdbergh1443]

@kgg966 I guess you missed the fact Laz called her that and its a very big honour.

[@RussellStrosnider]

Yes, the whole point in being crowned the slowest finisher ever is an honor and fun sarcasm because usually none of the 40 even finish. It's part of the charm of the Barkley.@@martijnvdbergh1443

[@GaryM67-71]

Unless you see video footage of every step taken, this is clearly totally dubious. The nail-biting finish, classic hollywood guurl power story. I wonder how much they paid Laz, the weirdo.

[@sudhanshusehgal622]

Even when all the money & sponsors are flowing into this sport, it is great to see what Jared did being 48 hours deep in this vision quest. Hope this kind of thing prevails in the sport for a long time. Jared did a baller move at the end & a huge shoutout to him for doing this.

[@brynncarolaine]

Stop it I’m crying! Jared is such an icon. And a girl dad. He understands what these means to the women and girls in our sport.

[@TheMrFaffy]

Sat here shouting 'come on Jasmin' at the twitter feed right now, Jared has just finished. Fingers crossed for more history being made.

[@suartblofeld]

Not only did Jared offer Jasmin the clockwise direction but he also pulled her out that seat much quicker than it looked like she was intending. Those 99 seconds could have easily have been spent in that seat!! You get what I'm saying. Literally those few minutes really REALLY mattered!!

[@HarveyandKelly]

You are so right! That was perfect timing!

[@_meshele_]

Agreed

[@jn278]

I didn't think of this, but you're so right! This is moment is so key, considering she finished with just about 2 minutes or so to spare. Absolutely beautiful and historical recording. Not to take anything away from Jasmin's insane achievement, but that really makes you think about how else it could've gone. Gary Robbins' DNF was already so painful to witness, considering he ALREADY collected all the pages, but he didn't come in on the right trail which disqualified him, but even disregarding that issue, he "finished" 6 seconds late. It'd be heartbreaking to see if Jasmin did all the right thing, got all the pages, came in on the right trail, but actually was disqualified because of a couple of seconds or a couple minutes. I'm so glad she pulled it through and made history.

[@bev9708]

YES and I've heard her acknowledge that in interviews too!!

[@ragsAI]

@@HarveyandKelly @suartblofeld The rule for deciding the direction of the fifth loop at the Barkley Marathons is that the first person to start the fifth loop gets to choose which direction they will run, either clockwise or counterclockwise. This choice then dictates the direction for all other runners who start the fifth loop after them. So, in the 2024 Barkley Marathons, when Ihor Verys was the first runner to begin the fifth loop and chose to run it clockwise, that set the direction for subsequent runners, including Jasmin Paris. The discussion that Jared Campbell had with Jasmin Paris about the direction she preferred was within the spirit of the race's community, but it was Very's decision that officially set the direction for the fifth loop. This is consistent with past practices at the Barkley Marathons, emphasizing the unique blend of individual challenge and communal support that characterizes the event. The specific interactions between runners like Paris and Campbell and the way these play out during the race are part of what makes Barkley Marathons distinct from other ultramarathons.

[@cannuckchick7522]

Just wow!! One of the classiest, most impressive moments on sports! Full stop. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@kayakinggrandmakelly7105]

He let her go the direction she wanted even though he literally could have taken that direction for himself. He wants her to be the First woman finisher!! As do we all! He is a true gentleman and sportsman.

[@marisacalvert]

Incredible human

[@shandasherpa4496]

I was amazed when watching Gary Robbins' video about the 2016 race, and he was first to finish Loop 4, giving him the first choice of how to run the final loop, but he let Jared decide first. I thought that was amazing, and now Jared did the same thing with Jasmin. Cool!

[@dawnhoyle5619]

He understood the moment was bigger than his dream. Ultimate respect!

[@worduser899]

I didn't even know what Barkley was 48 hours ago and now I'm sitting here shedding a little tear watching this. Incredible.

[@LukeRushton44]

How could anybody dislike this?? After 46 plus hours of arguably one of the hardest foot races in the world, show me a more classy example of sportsmanship in sports! I’ll wait.. Just love everything about this. 57 hours 45 minutes into the race as I write this. Really hoping these two make some big time history within these next 2 hours 15 minutes!!!

[@RogerOverall]

Thank you ever so much for this clip. It is wonderful that this quite moving and absolutely incredible moment was captured.

[@Gorgotzolas]

A Historical recording thank you

[@j-trandell9274]

These stories are so worthwhile - hardwork, grit, and lots more. And to top it all off, decency in the face of adversary. LOVELY!

[@lkbd12345]

Humility to offer. Humility to accept. Just awesome. 😢😮❤

[@j-trandell9274]

Indeed! Thanks for that insight - v apt comment on that scene. 🙏🏻

[@christinevoce3855]

Well that made me cry. Such generosity and graciousness. Jared is a hero. I hope they all make it.

[@gyorgyigabor]

Jared is a great sportsman! :)

[@juliepierce3826]

The best. ❤

[@kevinlanger7367]

Beautiful moment in our sport. Knowing what it’s really all about. I love the way she jumped up to accept his offer.

[@DoubtingMike]

Jared Campbell is a classy dude. I think she’ll succeed regardless of the direction, but love the show of sportsmanship from a BM veteran (and ICON).

[@annscholl1550]

Jared is a gentleman! Congrats to both of them finishing Barkley 2024! Epic!

[@Molly_Wanders]

She is absolutely incredible. This race is no joke. What an amazing historical moment in the sport this is!!

[@MakoTheFrog]

i'm so looking forward to a documentary about this years race, What an absolutely mind bendingly difficult decision it must has been to get up out of the chair for the 5th and final time, that short walk to the starting gate must have been the hardest decision she has ever made in her life! Awe Inspiring! Well done to all the competitors and of course all the support teams there!

Jasmin is a phenomenal competitor!! So is Jared! There both much, much more, then a “man’s man”

[@tightropetomg]

"If you want clockwise, it's all yours..." Wow! What a moment. I've never been so excited waiting for one man's twitter feed to update every few minutes. Who needs fancy pants GPS trackers? 🙂

What an absolute gent!

[@trevndrea]

AWESOME!!!

[@Shevock]

Great moments.

[@magnushartell]

Jared is a legend. It is not about doing CE or CCW for him, but helping Jasmin getting on her feet and the bost of making the choice made a difference. Jasmin would be able to do any direction but not without the boost of getting out of that chair

[@jamesdrury6627]

Amazing moment from Jared. Jasmin finished with less than 2 mins to go in her preferred direction so may well have not finished if it wasn't for this moment 👏

[@LosPeregrinos51]

They both made it, Jasmin was 99 seconds inside the cut off time!

So Amazing!

@@willrider Yes, thank you.

[@tw897]

Ultimate Direction needs to pay very close attention to this. Both wearing older 3.0 Signature Vests. There's a very good reason they're not wearing 4.0, 5.0 or 6.0 and UD need to have a hard look at the garbage they've turned their vests into. It's the same reason my 6.0 stays in the garage when I do Ultras and Adventure Races and use the 3.0

[@hummel12ify]

What's happening to her at 3:15 ??

[@nifty404]

Run approx 100 miles, sit down then stand back up and you'll know lol

All I heard was…mumble…mummmmmbbble….mummmmbbbllle…banana!

[@CSNCSNCSN]

Just 2 more minutes rest... 😴

[@ricodelavega4511]

wait, runners cant even flick a banana peel into the woods? c;mon, thats ridiculous, it isnt that sensitive of an ecological area.

[@tylorstreett7824]

The peel is heavier than the bag she put it in, and being pre-peeled at 100+miles, you take every advantage you can to not have to work or think about getting food in your mouth

[@funkyfreshwizardry]

It’s not about the peel as trash, it’s about the attention and coordination it takes to peel a banana while hiking after having been awake and on your feet for fifty hours. They’re just making it as easy as possible for her to eat it, because at this point it is extremely important that she eats.
