Ultra running enthusiasts and collectors have a rare opportunity to own an iconic piece of history with the news that Jasmin Paris’s signed race top from her legendary Barkley Marathons finish available for auction on eBay.
Paris made history this year as the first female to finish the Barkley Marathons, a feat that even race organiser Laz Lane doubted possible. The legendary race is often cited as the hardest on earth, with only 20 finishers to date.
This unique, signed race shirt represents a monumental achievement in ultra running and all auction proceeds will benefit Street Child, supporting education in some of the world’s poorest countries. The reserve price is set at £5000, reflecting the significant interest already received, with the auction live from Friday (July 19) and closes on July 28.
