Jasmin Paris: 'I ran toughest race for women worldwide'

The first female runner to complete one of the world's toughest races has said she did it for "women worldwide".

Jasmin Paris is one of only 20 people to have finished the Barkley Marathons in Tennessee since it was extended to 100 miles in 1989.

She crossed the finish line on Friday with 99 seconds to spare before the 60-hour cut-off.

Jasmin, from Midlothian, said it was about testing the limits of what she was capable of and inspiring others.

The course, at Frozen Head State Park, changes every year but covers 100 miles involving 60,000ft of climb and descent - about twice the height of the Mount Everest.
