Neil Pooran reporting for the Independent:

Ultra-runner Jasmin Paris has been made a Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) in the King’s Birthday Honours.

The 40-year-old, from Gorebridge in Midlothian, has completed some of the toughest and most gruelling races around the world.

She receives the honour for services to fell and long-distance running.

I think the whole monarchy thing is kind of silly, but seeing Jasmin Parks getting this recognition for here incredible feat of finishing Barkley Marathons is very cool.
