RPMF grants helped put Laura on right road – apply by November 30

Monday 28th November 2022

Laura Muir has landed countless awards and accolades to her name in a superb career so far.

And now the six-times European champion and Olympic, World and Commonwealth medallist has a lasting tribute in her home village of Milnathort.

Laura has had a street named after her ‘Muir Way‘ to recognise her achievements in her local community.

The 2022 European and Commonwealth champion also made a trip back to her primary school recently to help inspire pupils.

And young Scottish athletes, meanwhile, can follow the road taken by Laura by applying for grants from the Ron Pickering Memorial Fund – one of the earliest supporters of her own career.

Based in Scotland meant travelling to races across the UK was often expensive. Having the support of RPMF meant I could attend more competitions and gaining valuable racing exlerience, which really helped me develop as a young athlete.
