Barsosio has taken part in two New York Marathons: finishing fifth in 2000 (with her 2:27:00 personal best performance), and eleventh at the 2001 race.
However, it was not until she began focusing on road running in the early 2000s that she found greater success.

and she took the Scalata al Castello 10 km title in Arezzo, Italy, soon after.

Continuing to focus on the marathon in 2005, she finished second to Lidiya Grigoryeva at the Paris Marathon, although her time of 2:27:19 was her second fastest ever.
