The low hum of anxious mumbling is shattered by a cry - she's coming! In the distance, the vibrant red top of Jasmin Paris emerges from the browns and greys of the forest with singular determination and only the yellow gate in her sights. Great cheers go up and celebration bursts into life. The first woman to ever complete the Barkley Marathons. A new chapter has just been written in the history of long-distance running.
The 2024 Barkley Marathons is one that will never be forgotten. In Do Not Block Gate, award-winning sports photographer David Miller takes you on a visual journey through the thorny undergrowth of Frozen Head State Park in Tennessee to witness the pain, the suffering, the tears and the triumphs of one of the most iconic editions of the world's most infamous race.
Shot exclusively in monochrome using a Leica Q2 Monochrom, this curated collection of 200 images conveys the atmosphere and the spirit of the Barkley Marathons. David's image of Jasmin Paris slumped under the famous gate - blocking the gate - will go down in history as one of the most iconic sport photographs of all time.
