Jasmin lands MBE; Sam wins steeplechase gold in Sweden
Scottish ultra runner Jasmin Paris has been recognised in the King’s Honours List.
Jasmim will receive the MBE for services to fell and long distance running following today’s announcement in the Birthday Honours.
It’s a marvellous accolade for the Lothians-based runner who earlier this year famously became the first woman to complete the gruelling Barkley Marathons.
Jasmin was a guest recently for the Athletics Trust Scotland Q and A event in Edinburgh.
Congratulations!
The list also included MBE awar for former Scotland and Ayr Seaforth athlete, Stuart Benson (for work with the RAF).
